English Standard Version Anglicised
4 (A)Draw me after you; (B)let us run.
(C)The king has brought me into his chambers.

We will (D)exult and rejoice in you;

rightly do they love you.
She
5 I am very dark, but (F)lovely,
O (G)daughters of Jerusalem,
like (H)the tents of (I)Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My (J)mother's sons were angry with me;
they made me (K)keeper of (L)the vineyards,
but (M)my own vineyard I have not kept!
Song of Songs 1:4-6

Friends
She
How right they are to adore you!
5 Dark am I, yet lovely,(D)
daughters of Jerusalem,(E)
dark like the tents of Kedar,(F)
like the tent curtains of Solomon.[b]
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;(G)
my own vineyard I had to neglect.
