1 : 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for your love is better than wine.
1 : 3 Because of the smell of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.
1 : 4 Draw me, we will run after you: the king has brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine: the upright love you.
1 : 5 I am black, but comely, O you daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
1 : 6 Look not on me, because I am black, because the sun has looked on me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not kept.
1 : 7 Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where you feed, where you make your flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of your companions?
1 : 8 If you know not, O you fairest among women, go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.
1 : 9 I have compared you, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
1 : 10 Your cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, your neck with chains of gold.
1 : 11 We will make you borders of gold with studs of silver.
1 : 12 While the king sits at his table, my spikenard sends forth the smell thereof.
1 : 13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved to me; he shall lie all night between my breasts.
1 : 14 My beloved is to me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
1 : 15 Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves' eyes.
1 : 16 Behold, you are fair, my beloved, yes, pleasant: also our bed is green.
1 : 17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
