SONG 4:1 Lo, thou `artfair, my friend, lo, thou `artfair, Thine eyes `aredoves behind thy veil, Thy hair as a row of the goats That have shone from mount Gilead, SONG 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. SONG 4:3 As a thread of scarlet `arethy lips, And thy speech `iscomely, As the work of the pomegranate `isthy temple behind thy veil, SONG 4:4 As the tower of David `isthy neck, built for an armoury, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty. SONG 4:5 Thy two breasts `areas two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies. SONG 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. SONG 4:7 Thou `artall fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse, SONG 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. SONG 4:9 Thou hast emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck. SONG 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. SONG 4:11 Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk `areunder thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments `Isas the fragrance of Lebanon. SONG 4:12 A garden shut up `ismy sister-spouse, A spring shut up -- a fountain sealed. SONG 4:13 Thy shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits, SONG 4:14 Cypresses with nard -- nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices. SONG 4:15 A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings from Lebanon! SONG 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!
