The Song of Solomon 7

The Song of Solomon

7

1	How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter!          The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2	Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor:          thy belly is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3	Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4	Thy neck is as a tower of ivory;          thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath–rab'bim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
5	Thine head upon thee is like Carmel,          and the hair of thine head like purple; the King is held in the galleries.
6	How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7	This thy stature is like to a palm tree,          and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8	I said, I will go up to the palm tree,          I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
9	and the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved,          that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
10	I am my beloved's,          and his desire is toward me.
11	Come, my beloved,          let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12	Let us get up early to the vineyards;          let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
13	The mandrakes give a smell,          and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
