Canticle of Canticles 7

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 What shalt thou see in the Sulamitess but the companies of camps? How beautiful are thy steps in shoes, O prince's daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, that are made by the hand of a skilful workman.	1 Turn, turn, O Shulammite,
2 Thy navel is like a round bowl never wanting cups. Thy belly is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.	2 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.	3 Your navel is a round bowl
4 Thy neck as a tower of ivory. Thy eyes like the fishpools in Hesebon, which are in the gate of the daughter of the multitude. Thy nose is as the tower of Libanus, that looketh toward Damascus.	4 Your breasts are like twin fawns,
5 Thy head is like Carmel: and the hairs of thy head as the purple of the king bound in the channels.	5 Your neck is like a tower of ivory.
6 How beautiful art thou, and how comely, my dearest, in delights!	6 You head rises like Carmel;
7 Thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.	7 How beautiful you are, how pleasing,
8 I said: I will go up into the palm tree, and will take hold of the fruit thereof: and thy breasts shall be as the clusters of the vine: and the odour of thy mouth like apples.	8 Your very figure is like a palm tree,
9 Thy throat like the best wine, worthy for my beloved to drink, and for his lips and his teeth to ruminate.	9 I said: I will climb the palm tree,
10 I to my beloved, and his turning is towards me.	10 And your mouth like an excellent wine-
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field, let us abide in the villages.	11 I belong to my lover
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards, let us see if the vineyard flourish, if the flowers be ready to bring forth fruits, if the pomegranates flourish: there will I give thee my breasts.	12 Come, my lover, let us go forth to the fields
13 The mandrakes give a smell. In our gates are all fruits: the new and the old, my beloved, I have kept for thee.	13 Let us go early to the vineyards, and see
	14 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
