I have compared you, my love,
    to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,
    your neck with strings of jewels.

Friends

11 We will make you earrings of gold,
    with studs of silver.

Beloved

12 While the king sat at his table,
    my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh,
    that lies between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
    from the vineyards of En Gedi.
