1 Chorus to Groom: <font color=#008800>What will you see in the Sulamitess, other than choruses of encampments?</font> <V 7:2>Chorus to Bride: <font color=#008800>How beautiful are your footsteps in shoes, O daughter of a ruler! The joints of your thighs are like jewels, which have been fabricated by the hand of an artist.</font> 2 <font color=#008800>Your navel is a round bowl, never lacking in curvature. Your abdomen is like a bundle of wheat, surrounded with lilies.</font> 3 <font color=#008800>Your two breasts are like two young twin does.</font> 4 <font color=#008800>Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes like the fish ponds at Heshbon, which are at the entrance to the daughter of the multitude. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, which looks out toward Damascus.</font> 5 <font color=#008800>Your head is like Carmel, and the hairs of your head are like the purple of the king, bound into pleats.</font> 6 <font color=#008800>Most beloved one, how beautiful you are, and how graceful in delights!</font> 7 <font color=#008800>Your stature is comparable to the palm tree, and your breasts to clusters of grapes.</font> 8 Groom: <font color=#CC0000>I said, I will ascend to the palm tree, and take hold of its fruit. And your breasts will be like clusters of grapes on the vine. And the fragrance of your mouth will be like apples.</font> 9 Bride: <font color=#0000CC>Your throat is like the finest wine: wine worthy for my beloved to drink, and for his lips and teeth to contemplate.</font> Song of Solomon 7:1-9, Catholic Public Domain Version.
