1:1 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy
love is better than wine.
1:2Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name
is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love
thee.
1:3 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought
me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee,
we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright
love thee.

1:4 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,
as the tents of Kedar, as thecurtains of Solomon.
1:5 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the
sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards;
but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

1:6 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou
feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for

1:11 Whilethe king sitteth at his table, my spikenard
sendeth forth the smell thereof.
1:12 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he
shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
1:13 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the
vineyards of Engedi.
1:14 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair;
thou hast doves’ eyes.
1:15 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:also
our bed is green.

1:16 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of
fir.

2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2:2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the
daughters.
2:3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is
my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow
with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
