Chapter 7

1


 

  How beautiful are thy footsteps in sandals, O prince's daughter! The roundings of thy thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Thy navel is a round goblet, [which] wanteth not mixed wine; Thy belly a heap of wheat, set about with lilies;  

 

 

-

3


 

  Thy two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle;  

 

 

-

4


 

  Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; Thine eyes, [like] the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose like the tower of Lebanon, Which looketh toward Damascus;  

 

 

-

5


 

  Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the locks of thy head like purple; The king is fettered by [thy] ringlets!  

 

 

-

6


 

  How fair and how pleasant art thou, [my] love, in delights!  

 

 

-

7


 

  This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to grape clusters.  

 

 

-

8


 

  I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof; And thy breasts shall indeed be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples,  

 

 

-

9


 

  And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine, ... That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, And stealeth over the lips of them that are asleep.  

 

 

-

10


 

  I am my beloved's, And his desire is toward me.  

 

 

-

11


 

  -- Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; Let us lodge in the villages.  

 

 

-

12


 

  We will go up early to the vineyards, We will see if the vine hath budded, [If] the blossom is opening, And the pomegranates are in bloom: There will I give thee my loves.  

 

 

-

13


 

  The mandrakes yield fragrance; And at our gates are all choice fruits, new and old: I have laid them up for thee, my beloved.
