      | ¶ | The song of songs, which [is] Solomon's. | |
| Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] better than wine. | ||
 | Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as] ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. | ||
| 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. | ||
| I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | 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? | |
| 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. | ||
| I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. | ||
| Thy cheeks are comely with rows [of jewels], thy neck with chains [of gold]. | ||
| We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. | ||
| ¶ | While the king [sitteth] at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. | |
| A bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. | ||
| My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. | ||
| Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art] fair; thou [hast] doves' eyes. | ||
 | Behold, thou [art] fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed [is] green. | ||
| The beams of our house [are] cedar, [and] our rafters of fir. |
