2. |The answer of the Beloved — 5:1
S.S.|5:1|-|I have come into my |a|garden, my |1|sister, my bride;I have gathered my |b|myrrh with my spice;I have eaten my honeycomb with my |c|honey;I have drunk my wine with my milk.Eat, O |2|friends;Drink, and drink deeply, O beloved ones!

S.S.|5:2|-|I |1|sleep, but my heart is awake.A sound! My beloved is |a|knocking.|2|Open to me, my sister, my love,My |b|dove, my perfect one;For my head is drenched with dew,My locks with the |c|drops of night.
2. |Her refusal — 5:3

4. |The Beloved's hiding — 5:6

S.S.|5:7|-|The |a|watchmen who go about the city found me.They struck me; they wounded me;The keepers of the walls took my veil from me.

8. |Her impression of her Beloved — 5:10-16
S.S.|5:10|-|My beloved is |1|dazzling white yet ruddy,|2|Distinguished among ten thousand.S.S.|5:11|-|His |1|head is the finest gold;His |a|locks are wavy,As black as a raven.
S.S.|5:12|-||a|His |1|eyes are like dovesBeside the streams of water,Bathed in milk,Fitly set.S.S.|5:13|-|His |1|cheeks are like a bed of spices,Mounds of sweetly fragrant herbs;His lips are lilies,Dripping with liquid |a|myrrh.S.S.|5:14|-|His |1|hands are tubes of gold,Set with beryl;His belly is an ivory work,Overlaid with sapphires.S.S.|5:15|-|His |1|legs are pillars of white marble,Set upon bases of gold;His appearance is like Lebanon,As excellent as the cedars.S.S.|5:16|-|His |a|mouth is sweetness itself,And he is altogether desirable.This is my beloved, and this is my friend,O |b|daughters of Jerusalem.
