There are sixty (A)queens and eighty concubines,
And [a](B)maidens without number;
She is the only one—(C)my dove, my perfect one;
She is the only one of her mother;
She is the pure one of her who bore her.
The (D)daughters saw her and called her blessed,
The (E)queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
10 ‘Who is this that looks down like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full (F)moon,
As pure (G)as the sun,
As (H)majestic as [b]an army with banners?’
