8. You are the most beautiful of women.Surely you know to follow the sheepand feed your young goatsnear the shepherds’ tents.
9. My darling, you are like a mareamong the king’s stallions.
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments,and your neck with jewels.
11. We will make for you gold earringswith silver hooks.
12. The smell of my perfume spreads outto the king on his couch.
13. My lover is like a bag of myrrhthat lies all night between my breasts.
