9. I liken you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
11. We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.
12. While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13. My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
14. My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
15. How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.
16. How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant.
