The American Standard Version of 1901

Song of Solomon 7

1

How beautiful are thy 1 feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman. 1) Or steps

2

Thy body is like a round goblet, Wherein no mingled wine is wanting: Thy waist is like a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.

3

Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe.

4

Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes as the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus.

5

Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the hair of thy head like purple; The king is held captive in the tresses thereof .

6

How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

7

This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to its clusters.

8

I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, And the smell of thy 1 breath like apples, 1) Heb nose

9

And thy 1 mouth like the best wine, That goeth down 2 smoothly for my beloved, 3 Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep. 1) Heb palate 2) Heb aright 3) Or Causing the lips of those that are asleep to move (or speak )

10

I am my beloved's; And his desire is toward me.

11

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

12

Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine hath budded, And 1 its blossom is open, And the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give thee my love. 1) Or the tender grape appeareth

13

The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And 1 at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. 1) Or over
