1 Howe beautifull are thy goings with shooes, O princes daughter! the ioynts of thy thighs are like iewels: the worke of the hande of a cunning workeman.
·
2 Thy nauel is as a round cuppe that wanteth not licour: thy belly is as an heape of wheat compassed about with lilies.
·
3 Thy two breastes are as two young roes that are twinnes.
·
4 Thy necke is like a towre of yuorie: thine eyes are like the fishe pooles in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the towre of Lebanon, that looketh toward Damascus.
·
5 Thine head vpon thee is as skarlet, and the bush of thine head like purple: the King is tyed in the rafters.
·
6 Howe faire art thou, and howe pleasant art thou, O my loue, in pleasures!
·
7 This thy stature is like a palme tree, and thy brestes like clusters.
·
8 I saide, I will goe vp into the palme tree, I will take holde of her boughes: thy breastes shall nowe be like the clusters of the vine: and the sauour of thy nose like apples,
·
9 And the roufe of thy mouth like good wine, which goeth straight to my welbeloued, and causeth the lippes of the ancient to speake.
·
10 I am my welbeloueds, and his desire is toward mee.
·
11 Come, my welbeloued, let vs go foorth into the fielde: let vs remaine in the villages.
·
12 Let vs get vp early to the vines, let vs see if the vine florish, whether it hath budded the small grape, or whether the pomegranates florish: there will I giue thee my loue.
·
13 The mandrakes haue giuen a smelll, and in our gates are all sweete things, new and olde: my welbeloued, I haue kept them for thee.
