22:004:001 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold,
thou art fair; thou
hast
doves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair is
as a flock of
goats,
that appear from mount Gilead.
22:004:002 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that
are even shorn, which
came
up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins,
and
none
is barren among them.
22:004:003 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,
and thy speech is
comely:
thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within
thy
locks.
22:004:004 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded
for an armoury,
whereon
there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty
men.
22:004:005 Thy two breasts are like two young roes
that are twins, which
feed
among the lilies.
22:004:006 Until the day break, and the shadows flee
away, I will get me
to
the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
22:004:007 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
22:004:008 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with
me from Lebanon:
look
from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon,
from
the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
22:004:009 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister,
my spouse; thou hast
ravished
my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of
thy
neck.
22:004:010 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse!
how much better is
thy
love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than
all
spices!
22:004:011 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb:
honey and milk
are
under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is
like
the
smell of Lebanon.
22:004:012 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse;
a spring shut up, a
fountain
sealed.
22:004:013 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates,
with pleasant
fruits;
camphire, with spikenard,
22:004:014 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon,
with all trees of
frankincense;
myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
22:004:015 A fountain of gardens, a well of living
waters, and streams
from
Lebanon.
22:004:016 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south;
blow upon my
garden,
that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved
come
into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
22:005:001 I am come into my garden, my sister, my
spouse: I have
gathered
my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb
with
my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat,
O
friends;
drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
22:005:002 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is
the voice of my beloved
that
knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my
dove,
my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew,
and my
locks
with the drops of the night.
