Expressions of Praise
The Beloved
aO prince’s daughter!
The curves of your thighs are like jewels,
The work of the hands of a skillful workman.
It lacks no1 blended beverage.
Your waist is a heap of wheat
Set about with lilies.
Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon
By the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
Which looks toward Damascus.
And the hair of your head is like purple;
A king is held captive by your tresses.
I will take hold of its branches.”
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
The fragrance of your1 breath like apples,
The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved,
1Moving gently the2 lips of sleepers.

Song of Solomon 7:1
How beautiful are thy feet with shoes - " How graceful is thy walking." In the sixth chapter the bridegroom praises the Shulamite, as we might express it, from head to foot. Here he begins a new description, taking her from foot to head.
The shoes, sandals, or slippers of the Eastern ladies are most beautifully formed, and richly embroidered. The majestic walk of a beautiful woman in such shoes is peculiarly grand. And to show that such a walk is intended, he calls her a prince' s daughter.
The joints of thy thighs - Must refer to the ornaments on the beautiful drawers, which are in general use among ladies of quality in most parts of the East.
