I have compared thee, O [a]my love,
[b]To a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with plaits of hair,
Thy neck with strings of jewels.
11 We will make thee plaits of gold
With studs of silver.
12 While the king sat at his table,
My spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
13 My beloved is unto me as a [c]bundle of myrrh,
That lieth betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of [d]henna-flowers
In the vineyards of En-gedi.
