1 Where went thy beloved, O beautiful one among women? where turned away thy beloved, and we will seek him with thee. 2 My beloved went down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. 3 I to my beloved, and my beloved to me: he feeding among the lilies. 4 Thou art beautiful my friend, as delight; becoming as Jerusalem, a terror as those being furnished with banners. 5 Turn away thine eyes from before me; they enlarged me: thy hair as a herd of goats which lay down from Gilead. 6 Thy teeth as a herd of sheep which went up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and none barren among them. 7 As a piece of pomegranate thy temples from behind thy veil. 8 They are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens no number. 9 She is one, my dove, my perfect one; she is one to her mother, she is the chosen to her bearing her. The daughters saw her and pronounced her happy; the queens and the concubines, and they will praise her. Song of Solomon 6:1-9, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
