# Chapter 7
|
|
1. How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess!
|
|
The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,
|
|
the handiwork of a master.
|
|
|
|
2. Your navel is a rounded bowl;
|
|
it never lacks mixed wine.
|
|
|
|
Your belly is a mound of wheat
|
|
surrounded by lilies.
|
|
|
|
3. Your breasts are like two fawns,
|
|
twins of a gazelle.
|
|
|
|
4. Your neck is like a tower of ivory,
|
|
your eyes like pools in Heshbon
|
|
by Bath-rabbim's gate.
|
|
|
|
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
|
|
looking toward Damascus.
|
|
|
|
5. Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
|
|
the hair of your head like purple cloth--
|
|
a king could be held captive in your tresses.
|
|
|
|
6. How beautiful you are and how pleasant,
|
|
my love, with such delights!
|
|
|
|
7. Your stature is like a palm tree;
|
|
your breasts are clusters of fruit.
|
|
|
|
8. I said, "I will climb the palm tree
|
|
and take hold of its fruit."
|
|
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,
|
|
and the fragrance of your breath like apricots.
|
|
|
|
9. Your mouth is like fine wine--
|
|
flowing smoothly for my love,
|
|
gliding past my lips and teeth!
|
|
|
|
10. I am my love's,
|
|
and his desire is for me.
|
|
|
|
11. Come, my love,
|
|
let's go to the field;
|
|
let's spend the night among the henna blossoms.
|
|
|
|
12. Let's go early to the vineyards;
|
|
let's see if the vine has budded,
|
|
if the blossom has opened,
|
|
if the pomegranates are in bloom.
|
|
There I will give you my caresses.
|
|
|
|
13. The mandrakes give off a fragrance,
|
|
and at our doors is every delicacy,
|
|
both new and old.
|
|
I have treasured them up for you, my love.
