The Man Speaks to the Woman

Your feet are beautiful in sandals,
    you daughter of a prince.
Your round thighs are like jewels
    shaped by an artist.
Your navel is like a round drinking cup
    always filled with wine.
Your stomach is like a pile of wheat
    with lilies around it like a fence.
Your breasts are like two fawns.
    They are like twins of a gazelle.

[a]How beautiful your sandaled feet,
    O prince’s(A) daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
    the work of an artist’s hands.
Your navel is a rounded goblet
    that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
    encircled by lilies.
Your breasts(B) are like two fawns,
    like twin fawns of a gazelle.
