6. I opened to my love,but my love had turned and gone away.I was crushed that he had left. I sought him, but did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.
7. The guards who go about the city found me. They beat and wounded me;they took my cloak from me —the guardians of the walls.
8. Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: if you find my love,tell him that I am lovesick.
9. What makes the one you love better than another,most beautiful of women? What makes him better than another,that you would give us this charge?
10. My love is fit and strong, notable among ten thousand.
11. His head is purest gold.His hair is wavy and black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like doves beside streams of water,washed in milkand set like jewels.
