Context
The Wedding Night: Praise of the Bride
4:1 The Lover to His Beloved: Oh , you are beautiful , my darling ! Oh , you are beautiful ! Your eyes behind your veil are like doves . Your hair is like a flock of female goats descending from Mount Gilead .
4:2 Your teeth are like a flock of newly-shorn sheep coming up from the washing place; each of them has a twin , and not one of them is missing .
4:3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread ; your mouth is lovely . Your forehead behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate .
4:4 Your neck is like the tower of David built with courses of stones ; one thousand shields are hung on it– all shields of valiant warriors .
4:5 Your two breasts are like two fawns , twins of the gazelle grazing among the lilies .
4:6 Until the dawn arrives and the shadows flee , I will go up to the mountain of myrrh , and to the hill of frankincense .
4:7 You are altogether beautiful , my darling ! There is no blemish in you!
The Wedding Night: Beautiful as Lebanon
4:8 Come with me from Lebanon , my bride , come with me from Lebanon . Descend from the crest of Amana , from the top of Senir , the summit of Hermon , from the lions ’ dens and the mountain haunts of the leopards .
4:9 You have stolen my heart , my sister , my bride ! You have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes , with one jewel of your necklace .
