My darling, I love you!
Where do you feed your sheep
    and let them rest at noon?
Don't let the other shepherds
    think badly of me.
I'm not one of those women
who shamelessly follow
    after shepherds.[a]

He Speaks:

My dearest, if you don't know,
just follow the path
    of the sheep.
Then feed your young goats
    near the shepherds' tents.
You move as gracefully
as the pony that leads
    the chariot of the king.
