1:1  The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
1:2  Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for your love is better than wine.
1:3  Because of the fragrance of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.
1:4  Draw me, we will run after you: the king has brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine: the upright love you.
1:5  I am dark, but lovely, O you daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
1:6  Look not upon me, because I am dark, because the sun has darkened me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not kept.
1:7  Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where you feed, where you make your flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of your companions?
1:8  If you know not, O you fairest among women, go your way forth in the footsteps of the flock, and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.
1:9  I have compared you, O my love, to a mare of Pharaoh's chariots.
1:10  Your cheeks are lovely with rows of jewels, your neck with chains of gold.
1:11  We will make you ornaments of gold with studs of silver.
1:12  While the king sits at his table, my perfume sends forth its fragrance.
1:13  A bundle of myrrh is my beloved unto me; he shall lie all night between my breasts.
1:14  My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of Engedi.
1:15  Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves' eyes.
1:16  Behold, you are handsome, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
1:17  The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
