The work of the hands of a skillful workman.

Set about with lilies.

4 aYour neck is like an ivory tower,
Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon
By the gate of Bath Rabbim.

Which looks toward Damascus.

5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
And the hair of your head is like purple;
A king is held captive by your tresses.

8 I said, “I will go up to the palm tree,
I will take hold of its branches.”
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
The fragrance of your1 breath like apples,
I will take hold of its branches.”

The fragrance of your1 breath like apples,

1Moving gently the2 lips of sleepers.

1Moving gently the2 lips of sleepers.
