13 [a][b]Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, that we may behold you!”
[c]Why should you behold the Shulammite,
As at the (A)dance of [d](B)the two companies?

[e]How beautiful are your [f]feet in sandals,
O (C)noble’s daughter!
The curves of your thighs are like ornaments,
The work of the hands of an artist.
Your navel is like a round basin
Which never lacks mixed wine;
Your belly is like a heap of wheat
Encircled with lilies.
Your (D)two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle.
Your (E)neck is like a tower of ivory,
Your eyes like the pools in (F)Heshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
Which faces toward Damascus.
Your head [g]crowns you like (G)Carmel,
And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.
How (H)beautiful and how pleasant you are,
[h]My love, with all your pleasures!
