Song of Solomon 4 — UBES

4Verse 1Behold, thou art fair, my companion;
Behold, thou art fair;
Thine eyes are doves,
Beside thy veil:
Thy hair is as flocks of goats,
That have appeared from Gilead.
^{Verse 2}Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn sheep,
That have gone up from the washing;
All of them bearing twins,
And there is not a barren one among them.
^{Verse 3}Thy lips are as a thread of scarlet,
And thy speech is comely:
Like the rind of a pomegranate
Is thy cheek without thy veil.
^{Verse 4}Thy neck is as the tower of David,
That was built for an armory:
A thousand shields hang upon it,
And all darts of mighty men.
^{Verse 5}Thy two breasts are as two twin fawns,
That feed among the lilies.
^{Verse 6}Until the day dawn, and the shadows depart,
I will betake me to the mountain of myrrh,
And to the hill of frankincense.
^{Verse 7}Thou art all fair, my companion,
And there is no spot in thee.^{Verse 8}Come from Lebanon, my bride, come from Lebanon:
Thou shalt come and pass from the top of Faith,
From the top of Senir and Hermon,
From the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
^{Verse 9}My sister, my spouse,
Thou hast ravished my heart;
Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes,
With one chain of thy neck.
^{Verse 10}How beautiful are thy breasts, my sister, my spouse!
How much more beautiful are thy breasts than wine,
And the smell of thy garments than all spices!
^{Verse 11}Thy lips drop honeycomb, my spouse:
Honey and milk are under thy tongue;
And the smell of thy garments is as the smell of Lebanon.
^{Verse 12}My sister, my spouse is a garden enclosed;
A garden enclosed, a fountain sealed.
^{Verse 13}Thy shoots are a garden of pomegranates, with the fruit of choice berries;
Camphor, with spikenard:
^{Verse 14}Spikenard and saffron,
Calamus and cinnamon;
With all woods of Lebanon,
Myrrh, aloes, with all chief spices:
^{Verse 15}A fountain of a garden,
And a well of water springing and gurgling from Lebanon.^{Verse 16}Awake, O north wind; and come, O south;
And blow through my garden, and let my spices flow out.
