Song of Solomon 5
[1] I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my
myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk
my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O
beloved. [2] I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved
that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my
undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of
the night. [3] I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed
my feet; how shall I defile them?
[4] My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were
moved for him.
[5] I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and
my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. [6] I
opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone:
my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I
called him, but he gave me no answer. [7] The watchmen that went about the
city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls
took away my veil from me. [8] I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if
ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
[9] What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among
women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so
charge us?
[10] My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. [11]
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a
raven.
[12] His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with
milk, and fitly set.
[13] His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like
lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. [14] His hands are as gold rings set
with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
[15] His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his
countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. [16] His mouth is most
sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my
friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Song of Solomon 6
[1] Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy
beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee. [2] My beloved is
gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens,
and to gather lilies. [3] I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he
feedeth among the lilies. [4] Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah,
comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.
[5] Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as
a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. [6] Thy teeth are as a flock of
sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and
there is not one barren among them. [7] As a piece of a pomegranate are thy
temples within thy locks. [8] There are threescore queens, and fourscore
concubines, and virgins without number.
[9] My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother,
she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and
blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. [10]
Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as
the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? [11] I went down into the
garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine
flourished, and the pomegranates budded. [12] Or ever I was aware, my soul
made me like the chariots of Amminadib. [13] Return, return, O Shulamite;
return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the
Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.

Song of Solomon 7
[1] How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints
of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
[2] Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly
is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. [3] Thy two breasts are
like two young roes that are twins. [4] Thy neck is as a tower of ivory;
thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy
nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
[5] Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like
purple; the king is held in the galleries. [6] How fair and how pleasant
art thou, O love, for delights! [7] This thy stature is like to a palm
tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
[8] I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs
thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the
smell of thy nose like apples;
[9] And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth
down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. [10] I am
my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. [11] Come, my beloved, let us go
forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
[12] Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish,
whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will
I give thee my loves.
[13] The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of
pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

Song of Solomon 8
[1] O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother!
when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be
despised.
[2] I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would
instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my
pomegranate.
[3] His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
[4] I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake
my love, until he please.
[5] Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her
beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought
thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee. [6] Set me as a
seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as
death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire,
which hath a most vehement flame. [7] Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of
his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
[8] We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for
our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? [9] If she be a wall,
we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will
inclose her with boards of cedar. [10] I am a wall, and my breasts like
towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
[11] Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto
keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of
silver.
[12] My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a
thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. [13] Thou that
dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to
hear it.
[14] Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart
upon the mountains of spices.
