SON 1:1  The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

SON 1:2  Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better
 than wine.

SON 1:3  Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment
 poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

SON 1:4  Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his
 chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more
 than wine: the upright love thee.

SON 1:5  I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of
 Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

SON 1:6  Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon
 me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the
 vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

SON 1:7  Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou
 makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth
 aside by the flocks of thy companions?

SON 1:8  If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the
 footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

SON 1:9  I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's
 chariots.

SON 1:10  Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of
 gold.

SON 1:11  We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

SON 1:12  While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the
 smell thereof.

SON 1:13  A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night
 betwixt my breasts.

SON 1:14  My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of
 Engedi.

SON 1:15  Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast
 doves' eyes.

SON 1:16  Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is
 green.

SON 1:17  The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.

SON 2:1  I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

SON 2:2  As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

SON 2:3  As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among
 the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was
 sweet to my taste.

SON 2:4  He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was
 love.

SON 2:5  Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

SON 2:6  His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

SON 2:7  I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the
 hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

SON 2:8  The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains,
 skipping upon the hills.

SON 2:9  My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind
 our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the
 lattice.

SON 2:10  My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair
 one, and come away.

SON 2:11  For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

SON 2:12  The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is
 come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

SON 2:13  The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the
 tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

SON 2:14  O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places
 of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet
 is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

SON 2:15  Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our
 vines have tender grapes.

SON 2:16  My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

SON 2:17  Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and
 be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

SON 3:1  By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but
 I found him not.

SON 3:2  I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the
 broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him
 not.

SON 3:3  The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye
 him whom my soul loveth?

SON 3:4  It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my
 soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him
 into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

SON 3:5  I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the
 hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

SON 3:6  Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke,
 perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

SON 3:7  Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about
 it, of the valiant of Israel.

SON 3:8  They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword
 upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

SON 3:9  King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.

SON 3:10  He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of
 gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love,
 for the daughters of Jerusalem.

SON 3:11  Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the
 crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and
 in the day of the gladness of his heart.

SON 4:1  Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast
 doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear
 from mount Gilead.

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

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

SON 4:4  Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon
 there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

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

SON 4:6  Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the
 mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

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

SON 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SON 5:1  I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my
 myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my
 wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

SON 5:2  I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that
 knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undef
