Friends
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,(A)
follow the tracks of the sheep
and graze your young goats
by the tents of the shepherds.

9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare
among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.(B)

your neck with strings of jewels.(D)

Song of Solomon 1:8-14
King James Version
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

That lies all night between my breasts.

In the vineyards of En Gedi.
