4:1  Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves' eyes behind your veil: your hair is like a flock of goats, going down from mount Gilead.
4:2  Your teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; every one of which bears twins, and none is barren among them.
4:3  Your lips are like a thread of scarlet, and your mouth is lovely: your temples are like a piece of pomegranate behind your veil.
4:4  Your neck is like the tower of David built for an armory, on which there hang a thousand shields, all shields of mighty men.
4:5  Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, which feed among the lilies.
4:6  Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee away, I will go up to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
4:7  You are all fair, my love; there is no spot in you.
4:8  Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
4:9  You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; you have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.
4:10  How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is your love than wine! and the fragrance of your perfume than all spices!
4:11  Your lips, O my spouse, drop like the honeycomb: honey and milk are under your tongue; and the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
4:12  A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
4:13  Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; henna, with spikenard,
4:14  Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
4:15  A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
4:16  Awake, O north wind; and come, you south; blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat its pleasant fruits.
