Song of Solomon 1
|
|
| 1:1
The song of songs, which is Solomon's. |
|
| 1:2
Let him kiss me with the
kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. |
"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his
mouth: for thy love is better than wine." A fitting beginning for a
pornographic poem.
 Song of Solomon
(He Qi)
|
| 1:3
Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured
forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
|
| 1:4
Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his
chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love
more than wine: the upright love thee.
|
| 1:5
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of
Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. |
|
| 1:6
Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me:
my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the
vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. |
|
| 1:7
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest
thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by
the flocks of thy companions? |
|
| 1:8
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the
footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. |
|
| 1:9
I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's
chariots. |
|
| 1:10
Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. |
|
| 1:11
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. |
|
| 1:12
While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell
thereof. |
|
| 1:13
A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my
breasts. |
"He shall lie all night betwixt my
breasts."
|
| 1:14
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. |
|
| 1:15
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves'
eyes. |
|
| 1:16
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. |
|
| 1:17
The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
