Song of Solomon 1

²Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;

³Your oils have a pleasing fragrance.

⁴Take me away with you.

⁵I am dark, but lovely,

⁶Don’t stare at me because I am dark,

⁷Tell me, you whom my soul loves,

⁸If you don’t know, most beautiful among women,

⁹I have compared you, my love,

¹⁰Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,

¹¹We will make you earrings of gold,

¹²While the king sat at his table,

¹³My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh,

¹⁴My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms

¹⁵Behold, you are beautiful, my love.

¹⁶Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant;

¹⁷The beams of our house are cedars.
