(A)Your neck is like the tower of David,
Built (B)for an armory,
On which hang a thousand [a]bucklers,
All shields of mighty men.
(C)Your two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle,
Which feed among the lilies.

(D)Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh
And to the hill of frankincense.

Your neck is like the tower(A) of David,
    built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(B)
    all of them shields of warriors.
Your breasts(C) are like two fawns,
    like twin fawns of a gazelle(D)
    that browse among the lilies.(E)
Until the day breaks
    and the shadows flee,(F)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(G)
    and to the hill of incense.
