1As the chorus of `Mahanaim.' How beautiful were thy feet with sandals, O daughter of Nadib. The turnings of thy sides are as ornaments, Work of the hands of an artificer.Select Song of Songs 7:1
2Thy waist is a basin of roundness, It lacketh not the mixture, Thy body a heap of wheat, fenced with lilies,Select Song of Songs 7:2
3Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,Select Song of Songs 7:3
4Thy neck as a tower of the ivory, Thine eyes pools in Heshbon, near the gate of Bath-Rabbim, Thy face as a tower of Lebanon looking to Damascus,Select Song of Songs 7:4
5Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as purple, The king is bound with the flowings!Select Song of Songs 7:5

13The mandrakes have given fragrance, And at our openings all pleasant things, New, yea, old, my beloved, I laid up for thee!Select Song of Songs 7:13
