9. I compare you, my darling, to my mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10. Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with strings of beads.
11. Ornaments of gold we will make for you with spangles of silver.
12. While the king is on his couch, my nard spreads its fragrance.
13. My lover is my pouch of myrrh, passing the night between my breasts.
14. My love is to me a spray of henna blooms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15. How lovely you are, my darling, how lovely! Your eyes are doves.
16. How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, so delightful! Yes, our couch is luxuriant.
17. The beams of our houses are cedar trees, our panels are cypress trees.
