RF SOL 7:1 (SOLOMON in irritation replies to her with satirical insult.)
SOLOMON.
How fine your steps are in your slippers!
Smart girl! The edge of your skirts is like lace,—
And made by the hand of the skilful!
RF SOL 7:2 Your belt is a bowl not deficient in drink;
Is your waist a field of ripe corn, and encircled with lilies?
RF SOL 7:3 Are your two breasts like two fawns,—twin gazelles?
RF SOL 7:4 Is your neck like an ivory tower?
Your eyes like the lakelets of Bethlem,
By the Gate of Bath-rabbim?
Is your nose like to Lebanon's tower,
That looks on the North to Damask?
RF SOL 7:5 Is your head fixed on you like Carmel,
With the plaits from your hair hanging down?—
And a Monarch involved in their twists?—
RF SOL 7:6 SCENE 3.
(SOLOMON leaving his satirizing of the DANCING GIRL, turns and looks after the retiring SHEPHERDESS, and soliloquizes.)
SOLOMON.
Why are you so charming and pleasant?—
I love her, involved in delights,—
RF SOL 7:7 Your stature is like to a Palm,
And your breasts like to clusters of grapes.
RF SOL 7:8 I declare I could climb up that Palm,—
I would hang by its thorns,
For there are your grape-cluster breasts,
And your breath like perfume!
RF SOL 7:9 And your mind like the beautiful wine,
That comes to the truly in love,
And moistens their lips in their sleep!
RF SOL 7:10 (The SHEPHERDESS hearing him speaking, turns and replies in remonstrance.)
SHEPHERDESS.
I am for my lover, and he longs for me.
RF SOL 7:11 (SOLOMON answers her in rapture; trying to induce her to forget her rustic lover, he offers to become a Peasant and her equal, and lodge in a village farm.)
SOLOMON.
Come, darling, come to the meads
We can sit in the bowers,
RF SOL 7:12 And lodge with the farmers!
Can watch the Vines blossom,—
The flowers unfolding,
Or the bright peaches flourish:—
And there I will give you my love!
(The SHEPHERDESS refuses and departs.)
RF SOL 7:13 ACT 6. SCENE 1.
(The SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDESS in their native village, are prattling together in the delight of their meeting.)
SHEPHERD.
The Love-apples give out their scent,
And over our doors are new flowers,
And the old ones, my love, that I treasured for you!
