THE SHEPHERD, ADVANCING TO THE SHULAMITE.

1 Chap. IV. Behold, thou art beautiful, my loved one,

Behold, thou art beautiful!

Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil;

Thy hair is like a flock of goats,

Springing down Mount Gilead. [[155]]

2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep

Which come up from the washing-pool,

All of which are paired,

And not one among them is bereaved.
