7. Tell me, you whom I love,where do you feed your sheep?Where do you let them rest at noon?Why should I look for you near your friend’s sheep,like a woman who wears a veil?
8. You are the most beautiful of women.Surely you know to follow the sheepand feed your young goatsnear the shepherds’ tents.
9. My darling, you are like a mareamong the king’s stallions.
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments,and your neck with jewels.
11. We will make for you gold earringswith silver hooks.
