1 - As the chorus of `Mahanaim.' How beautiful were thy feet with sandals, O daughter of Nadib. The turnings of thy sides <FI>are<Fi> as ornaments, Work of the hands of an artificer.

2 - Thy waist <FI>is<Fi> a basin of roundness, It lacketh not the mixture, Thy body a heap of wheat, fenced with lilies,

3 - Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,

4 - Thy neck as a tower of the ivory, Thine eyes pools in Heshbon, near the gate of Bath-Rabbim, Thy face as a tower of Lebanon looking to Damascus,

5 - Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as purple, The king is bound with the flowings!

6 - How fair and how pleasant hast thou been, O love, in delights.

7 - This thy stature hath been like to a palm, And thy breasts to clusters.

8 - I said, `Let me go up on the palm, Let me lay hold on its boughs, Yea, let thy breasts be, I pray thee, as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy face as citrons,

9 - And thy palate as the good wine--'Flowing to my beloved in uprightness, Strengthening the lips of the aged!

10 - I <FI>am<Fi> my beloved's, and on me <FI>is<Fi> his desire.

11 - Come, my beloved, we go forth to the field,

12 - We lodge in the villages, we go early to the vineyards, We see if the vine hath flourished, The sweet smelling-flower hath opened. The pomegranates have blossomed, There do I give to thee my loves;

13 - The mandrakes have given fragrance, And at our openings all pleasant things, New, yea, old, my beloved, I laid up for thee!
