⁵ Thy two breasts `are' as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies.

³ Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,

³ I `am' my beloved's, and my beloved `is' mine, Who is delighting himself among the lilies.

¹⁶ My beloved `is' mine, and I `am' his, Who is delighting among the lilies,

¹⁰ I `am' a wall, and my breasts as towers, Then I have been in his eyes as one finding peace.

¹⁹ A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually.

² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

¹⁰ Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her,

¹¹ So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour.

¹² For thus said Jehovah: `Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.

¹ Who doth make thee as a brother to me, Sucking the breasts of my mother? I find thee without, I kiss thee, Yea, they do not despise me,

⁷ This thy stature hath been like to a palm, And thy breasts to clusters.

¹³ A bundle of myrrh `is' my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodgeth.
