Song of Solomon 1:14
12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how very beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.
16 How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.
