Your (A)neck is like the tower of David,
    built in (B)rows of stone;[a]
on it (C)hang a thousand shields,
    all of (D)them shields of warriors.
Your (E)two breasts are like two (F)fawns,
    twins of a gazelle,
    that (G)graze among the lilies.
(H)Until the day breathes
    and the shadows flee,
I will go away to the mountain of (I)myrrh
    and the hill of (J)frankincense.
