Bible. Song of Solomon
22:003:011 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with
the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his
espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
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.
