Your neck is like the tower(A) of David,
    built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(B)
    all of them shields of warriors.
Your breasts(C) are like two fawns,
    like twin fawns of a gazelle(D)
    that browse among the lilies.(E)
Until the day breaks
    and the shadows flee,(F)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(G)
    and to the hill of incense.
