| I come to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink: drink deeply, O lovers! | He. Sg.5.1 | ||
| I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night." | The fourth song. She (a). He (b). Sg.5.2 | ||
| I had put off my garment, how could I put it on? I had bathed my feet, how could I soil them? | She. Sg.5.3-8 | ||
| My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me. | |||
| I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt. | |||
| I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer. | |||
| The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city; they beat me, they wounded me, hey took away my mantle, those watchmen of the walls. | |||
| I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love. | |||
| What is your beloved more than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us? | The women. Sg.5.9 | ||
| My beloved is all radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand. | She. Sg.5.10-16 | ||
| His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven. | |||
| His eyes are like doves beside springs of water, bathed in milk, fitly set. | |||
| His cheeks are like beds of spices, yielding fragrance. His lips are lilies, distilling liquid myrrh. | |||
| His arms are rounded gold, set with jewels. His body is ivory work, encrusted with sapphires. | |||
| His legs are alabaster columns, set upon bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars. | |||
| His speech is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. | |||
