7:1 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter!
the joints of thy thighs [are] like jewels, the work of the
hands of a skillful workman.
7:2 Thy navel [is like] a round goblet, [which] wanteth not
liquor: thy belly [is like] a heap of wheat set about with
lilies.
7:3 Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes [that are] twins.
7:4 Thy neck [is] as a tower of ivory; thy eyes [like] the
fish-pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose
[is] as the tower of Lebanon which looketh towards Damascus.
7:5 Thy head upon thee [is] like Carmel, and the hair of thy
head like purple; the king [is] held in the galleries.
7:6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7:7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to
clusters [of grapes].
7:8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of
its boughs: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the
vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
7:9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved,
that goeth [down] sweetly, causing the lips of those that are
asleep to speak.
7:10 I [am] my beloved's, and his desire [is] towards me.
7:11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us
lodge in the villages.
7:12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the
vine flourisheth, [whether] the tender grape appeareth, [and]
the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
7:13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates [are] all
manner of pleasant [fruits], new and old, [which] I have laid
up for thee, O my beloved.
