Solomon’s Song of Songs.
She[a]
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the young women love you!
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.
Friends
We rejoice and delight in you;
we will praise your love more than wine.
She
How right they are to adore you!
5 Dark am I, yet lovely,
daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
like the tent curtains of Solomon.[c]
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;
my own vineyard I had to neglect.
7 Tell me, you whom I love,
where you graze your flock
and where you rest your sheep at midday.
Why should I be like a veiled woman
beside the flocks of your friends?
Friends
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women
follow the tracks of the shee
and graze your young goat
by the tents of the shepherds
9 I liken you, my darling, to a mar
among Pharaoh’s chariot horses
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings
your neck with strings of jewels
11 We will make you earrings of gold
studded with silver
S
12 While the king was at his table
my perfume spread its fragrance
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrr
resting between my breasts
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossom
from the vineyards of En Gedi
15 How beautiful you are, my darling
Oh, how beautiful
Your eyes are doves
S
16 How handsome you are, my beloved
Oh, how charming
And our bed is verdant
17 The beams of our house are cedars
our rafters are firs. ;He.!!he.!!He.s.h.,he.,.,.eHe.sp,cedars;
our rafters are firs.
They specifically mention how handsome he was and nothing else about him is mentioned, she only wanted him for his looks.
