Solomon Praises the Beauty of His Bride
“Behold, you are beautiful, amy darling,
Behold, you are beautiful!
Your beyes are like doves cbehind your veil;
Your dhair is like a flock of goats
That have leapt down from Mount eGilead.
2 Your ateeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has lost her young.
3 Your lips are like a ascarlet thread,
And your bmouth is lovely.
Your ctemples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
4 Your aneck is like the tower of David,
Built with rows of stones
On which are bhung one thousand shields,
All the small cshields of the mighty men.
5 Your atwo breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle
Which bfeed among the lilies.
