Song Of Solomon 7:1

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince`s daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman." — Song Of Solomon 7:1 (ASV)

Thy feet with shoes - Or, your steps in the sandals: the bride’s feet are seen in motion in the dance. “Joints” might be rendered as circling movements.

Prince’s daughter - Or, daughter of a noble; the bride is of honorable, though not of kingly, birth.

Like jewels - The image suggested is that of large, well-formed pearls or other jewels skillfully strung or linked together.
