vw@Songs:5:1 @ The Beloved: I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. To His Friends: Eat, O friends! Drink, yes, get drunk, O beloved ones!

vw@Songs:5:2 @ Shulamite: I sleep, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my beloved! He knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is covered with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.

vw@Songs:5:3 @ I have stripped off my gown; how shall I put it on again? I have washed my feet; how shall I dirty them?

vw@Songs:5:4 @ My beloved put his hand by the latch of the door, and my heart yearned for him.

vw@Songs:5:5 @ I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the lock.

vw@Songs:5:6 @ I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned away and was gone. My soul went forth when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

vw@Songs:5:7 @ The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took my veil away from me.

vw@Songs:5:8 @ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem: If you find my beloved, that you tell him I am lovesick!

vw@Songs:5:9 @ Daughters of Jerusalem: What is your beloved more than any other beloved, O most beautiful among women? What is your beloved more than any other beloved, that you charge us so?

vw@Songs:5:10 @ Shulamite: My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, standing out among ten thousand.

vw@Songs:5:11 @ His head is like the finest gold; his locks are wavy, and black as a raven.

vw@Songs:5:12 @ His eyes are like doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and set in a frame.

vw@Songs:5:13 @ His cheeks are like a bed of spices, like grown herbs. His lips are like lilies, dripping flowing myrrh.

vw@Songs:5:14 @ His hands are like folds of gold filled with precious stones. His torso is smooth as ivory overlaid with sapphires.

vw@Songs:5:15 @ His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

vw@Songs:5:16 @ His mouth is most sweet. Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
