1:1 The song of songs, which [is] Solomon's.
1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love
 [is] better than wine.
1:3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as]
 ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
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.
1:5 I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as
 the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
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.
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?
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.
1:9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in
 Pharaoh's chariots.
1:10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows [of jewels], thy neck with
 chains [of gold].
1:11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
1:12 While the king [sitteth] at his table, my spikenard sendeth
 forth the smell thereof.
1:13 A bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie
 all night betwixt my breasts.
1:14 My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of camphire in the
 vineyards of Engedi.
1:15 Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art] fair;
 thou [hast] doves' eyes.
1:16 Behold, thou [art] fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also
 our bed [is] green.
1:17 The beams of our house [are] cedar, [and] our rafters of
 fir.
2:1 I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the valleys.
2:2 As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the
 daughters.
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.
2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over
 me [was] love.
2:5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I [am]
 sick of love.
2:6 His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand doth
 embrace me.
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.
2:8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the
 mountains, skipping upon the hills.
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.
2:10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my
 fair one, and come away.
2:11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over [and] gone;
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;
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.
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.
2:15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines:
 for our vines [have] tender grapes.
2:16 My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth among the
 lilies.
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.
3:1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I
 sought him, but I found him not.
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.
3:3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: [to whom I
 said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
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.
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.
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?
3:7 Behold his bed, which [is] Solomon's; threescore valiant men
 [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel.
3:8 They all hold swords, [being] expert in war: every man
 [hath] his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
3:9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4:5 Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes that are twins,
 which feed among the lilies.
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.
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 thine 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 smell of thine ointments
 than all spices!
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.
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; camphire, 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] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved
 come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
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.
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 undefiled: for my head is filled with dew,
 [and] my locks with the drops of the night.
5:3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed
 my feet; how shall I defile them?
5:4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door], and my
 bowels were moved for him.
5:5 I rose up t
