⁹ “To a ^(A)mare of mine among the chariots of Pharaoh
I compare you, O ^(B)my darling.
¹⁰ Your ^(C)cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
Your neck with strings of ^[a](D)beads.”

¹¹ “^[b]We will make for you ornaments of gold
With beads of silver.”

¹² “^[c]While the king was at his ^[d]banqueting table,
My ^[e](E)perfume gave forth its fragrance.
¹³ My beloved is to me a pouch of ^(F)myrrh
Which lies all night between my breasts.
¹⁴ My beloved is to me a cluster of ^(G)henna blossoms
In the vineyards of ^(H)Engedi.”
