9. You, my love, excite menas a mare excites the stallions of Pharaoh's chariots.
10. Your hair is beautiful upon your cheeksand falls along your neck like jewels.
11. But we will make for you a chain of goldwith ornaments of silver.
12. My king was lying on his couch,and my perfume filled the air with fragrance.
13. My lover has the scent of myrrhas he lies upon my breasts.
14. My lover is like the wild flowersthat bloom in the vineyards at Engedi.
15. How beautiful you are, my love;how your eyes shine with love!
16. How handsome you are, my dearest;how you delight me!The green grass will be our bed;
17. the cedars will be the beams of our house,and the cypress trees the ceiling.
