-'''''Canticum Canticorum'''''
-{{verse|7:1}} ... Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui in calciamentis, filia principis! Iuncturæ femorum tuorum sicut monilia quæ fabricata sunt manu artificis;
-{{verse|7:2}} umbilicus tuus crater tornatilis, numquam indigens poculis. Venter tuus sicut acervus tritici, vallatus liliis.

-<poem>
-How graceful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter!
-The joints of your thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
-Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine.
-Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
