I compare you, my darling,(A)
to a[a] mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.[b](B)
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with jewelry,(C)
your neck with its necklace.
11 We will make gold jewelry for you,
accented with silver.

12 W While the king is on his couch,[c]
my perfume[d] releases its fragrance.(D)
13 My love is a sachet of myrrh to me,(E)
spending the night between my breasts.
14 My love is a cluster of henna blossoms to me,(F)
in the vineyards of En-gedi.[e](G)
