      | ¶ | O that thou [wert] as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised. | |
| I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother's house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. | ||
| His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. | ||
  | I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please. | ||
| ¶ | Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bare thee. | |
| ¶ | Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame. | |
| Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if [a] man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. | ||
| ¶ | We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? | |
| If she [be] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [be] a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. | ||
| I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour. | ||
| Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver. | ||
| My vineyard, which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O Solomon, [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. | ||
| ¶ | Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it]. | |
| Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices. |
