Song of Solomon 1

¹The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.

²Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth:

³Because of the savour of thy good ointments

⁴Draw me, we will run after thee:

⁵I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,

⁶Look not upon me, because I am black,

⁷Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth,

⁸If thou know not, O thou fairest among women,

⁹I have compared thee, O my love,

¹⁰Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels,

¹¹We will make thee borders of gold

¹²While the king sitteth at his table,

¹³A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me;

¹⁴My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire

¹⁵Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair;

¹⁶Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:

¹⁷The beams of our house are cedar,
