RWebster - Song of Solomon - 4

4:1  Behold, thou artfair, my love; behold, thou artfair; thou hastdoves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

4:2  Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; all of which bear twins, and none is barren among them.

4:3  Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of pomegranate within thy locks.

4:4  Thy neck is like the tower of David built for an armoury, on which hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

4:5  Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

4:6  Until the day shall break, and the shadows flee away, I will go up to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

4:7  Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

4:8  Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

4:9  Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thy eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

4:10  How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the fragrance of thy ointments than all spices!

4:11  Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the scent of thy garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

4:12  A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

4:13  Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; henna, with spikenard,

4:14  Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

4:15  A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

4:16  Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
