You are as exciting, my darling, as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.

Young Man

How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.

Young Woman

You are so handsome, my love, pleasing beyond words! The soft grass is our bed;

Young Man

You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead.

You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way.

You are my private garden, my treasure, my bride, a secluded spring, a hidden fountain.

You are a garden fountain, a well of fresh water streaming down from Lebanon’s mountains.

Young Man

You are beautiful, my darling, like the lovely city of Tirzah. Yes, as beautiful as Jerusalem, as majestic as an army with billowing banners.

Oh, how beautiful you are! How pleasing, my love, how full of delights!

You are slender like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
