8. If you do not know, most beautiful of women,follow the tracks of the sheepand graze your young goatsby the tents of the shepherds.
9. I liken you, my darling, to a mareamong Pharaoh’s chariot horses.
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,your neck with strings of jewels.
11. We will make you earrings of gold,studded with silver.
