Canticle of Canticles 7

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.	1 CHORUS: Come back, come back, girl from Shulam, come back, come back, where we can look at you!Why are you looking at the girl from Shulam, dancing between two lines of dancers?
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.	2 LOVER: How beautiful are your feet in their sandals, O prince's daughter! The curve of your thighs islike the curve of a necklace, work of a master hand.
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.	3 Your navel is a bowl wel rounded with no lack of wine, your bel y a heap of wheat surrounded with lilies.
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.	4 Your two breasts are two fawns, twins of a gazel e.
5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.	5 Your neck is an ivory tower. Your eyes, the pools of Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-Rabbim. Your nose,the Tower of Lebanon, sentinel facing Damascus.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!	6 Your head is held high like Carmel, and its hair is as dark as purple; a king is held captive in yourtresses.
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.	7 How beautiful you are, how charming, my love, my delight!
8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;	8 In stature like the palm tree, its fruit-clusters your breasts.
9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.	9 I have decided, 'I shall climb the palm tree, I shall seize its clusters of dates!' May your breasts beclusters of grapes, your breath sweet-scented as apples,
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.	10 and your palate like sweet wine. BELOVED: Flowing down the throat of my love, as it runs on the lipsof those who sleep.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.	11 I belong to my love, and his desire is for me.
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.	12 Come, my love, let us go to the fields. We will spend the night in the villages,
13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.	13 and in the early morning we wil go to the vineyards. We will see if the vines are budding, if theirblossoms are opening, if the pomegranate trees are in flower. Then I shall give you the gift of my love.
	14 The mandrakes yield their fragrance, the most exquisite fruits are at our doors; the new as well as theold, I have stored them for you, my love.
