6. Don't stare at mejust because the sunhas darkened my skin.My brothers were angry with me;they made me work in the vineyard,and so I neglectedmy complexion.Don't let the other shepherdsthink badly of me.
7. I'm not one of those womenwho shamelessly followafter shepherds.My darling, I love you!Where do you feed your sheepand let them rest at midday?
8. My dearest, if you don't know,just follow the pathof the sheep.Then feed your young goatsnear the shepherds' tents.
9. You move as gracefullyas the pony that leadsthe chariot of the king.
