Read Song of Songs 6.1-10. In verses 1-3: The lover's whereabouts. A short fragment of a song, in which the woman reiterates earlier themes. In verses 4-10: The man praises the woman's body. While this poem shares many of the agricultural comparisons of 4.1-3 (hair like goats, teeth like ewes), it also introduces regal imagery. The woman is seen as awe-inspiring. she is compared to important cities (Tirzah was the capital of the northern kingdom after the division; Jerusalem of the south), and she would invite the praise even of queens and concubines.
