⁹I compare you, my darling,^(A)
to a^[a] mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.^(B)

your neck with its necklace.
¹¹We will make gold jewelry for you,
accented with silver.

¹²While the king is on his couch,^[b]

spending the night between my breasts.
¹⁴The one I love is a cluster of henna blossoms to me,^(F)
in the vineyards of En-gedi.^(G)
