[1] How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand. [2] Your navel is a round bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies. [3] Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. [4] Your neck is like an ivory tower, your eyes pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus. [5] Your head crowns like Carmel, and your flowing hair is like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses. [6] How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights! [7] Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. [8] I say I will climb the palm tree and take hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, [9] and your mouth like the best wine. It goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding over lips and teeth. [10] I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me. [11] Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages; [12] let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. [13] The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and at our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, my beloved.
