Solomon, the Lover, Speaks

“If you yourself do not know,
(A)Most beautiful among women,
Go out on the trail of the flock,
And pasture your young goats
By the tents of the shepherds.

[a]To me, (B)my darling, you are like
My (C)mare among the chariots of Pharaoh.
10 Your (D)cheeks are delightful with jewelry,
Your neck with strings of (E)beads.”
