English text
Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness
like pillars of smoke, perfum'd with myrrh and frankinsence
with all powders of the merchant.
Behold his bed which is Solomon's,
threescore valiant men are about it,
of the valiant of Israel.
They all hold swords being expert in war,
Ev'ry man hath his sword upon his thigh,
because of fear in the night.
