Bible, King James Version
Song_of_Solomon
Cant.1
[1] The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
[2] Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy
love is better than wine.
[3] Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name
is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love
thee.
[4] Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought
me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we
will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
[5] I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,
as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
[6] Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun
hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me;
they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard
have I not kept.
[7] Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou
feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why
should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy
companions?
[8] If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy
way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside
the shepherds' tents.
[9] I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of
horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
[10] Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck
with chains of gold.
[11] We will make thee borders of gold with studs of
silver.
[12] While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard
sendeth forth the smell thereof.
[13] A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall
lie all night betwixt my breasts.
[14] My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the
vineyards of En-gedi.
[15] Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art
fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
[16] Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:
also our bed is green.
[17] The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of
fir.
