7. Tell me, you whom I love,where do you feed your sheep?Where do you make them rest at noon?Why should I look for you near your friend’s sheep?Am I like a woman who wears a veil?
8. You are the most beautiful of women.Surely you know to follow the sheep.Feed your young goatsnear the shepherds’ tents.
9. My darling, you are like a marethat pulls the king’s chariots.
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments.Your neck is beautiful with jewels.
11. We will make for you gold earringswith silver hooks.
12. The smell of my perfume spreads outto the king on his couch.
