¹How beautiful you are, my darling— ²Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep ³Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon, ⁴Your neck is like the tower of David, ⁵Your breasts are like two fawns, ⁶Before the day breaks and the shadows flee, ⁷You are altogether beautiful, my darling; ⁸Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, ⁹You have captured my heart, ¹⁰How delightful is your love, ¹¹Your lips, my bride, ¹²My sister, my bride, you are a garden locked up, ¹³Your branches are an orchard of pomegranates ¹⁴with nard and saffron, with calamus and cinnamon, ¹⁵You are a garden spring,
