YLT - Song of Solomon - 4

4:1  Lo, thou art fair, my friend, lo, thou art fair, Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil, Thy hair as a row of the goats That have shone from mount Gilead,

4:2  Thy teeth as a row of the shorn ones That have come up from the washing, For all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.

4:3  As a thread of scarlet are thy lips, And thy speech is comely, As the work of the pomegranate is thy temple behind thy veil,

4:4  As the tower of David is thy neck, built for an armoury, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty.

4:5  Thy two breasts are as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies.

4:6  Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, I will get me unto the mountain of myrrh, And unto the hill of frankincense.

4:7  Thou art all fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,

4:8  Come from Lebanon, come thou in. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of lions, From the mountains of leopards.

4:9  Thou hast emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.

4:10  How wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes than all spices.

4:11  Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk are under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments Is as the fragrance of Lebanon.

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

4:13  Thy shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,

4:14  Cypresses with nard--nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices.

4:15  A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings from Lebanon!

4:16  Awake, O north wind, and come, O south, Cause my garden to breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his garden, And eat its pleasant fruits!
