O thatthou wast as my brother, that suckedthe breastsof my mother! when I should findthee without, I would kissthee; yea, I should notbe despised. I would leadthee, and bringthee intomy mother's house, who would instructme: I would cause thee to drinkof spicedwineof the juiceof my pomegranate. His left hand should be undermy head, and his right handshould embraceme. I chargeyou, O daughtersof Jerusalem, thatye stir not up, norawake my love, untilhe please. Who is thisthat cometh upfromthe wilderness, leaninguponher beloved? I raised thee upunderthe apple tree: therethy motherbrought thee forth: thereshe brought thee forth that borethee. Setme as a sealuponthine heart, as a sealuponthine arm: forlove is strongas death; jealousy is cruelas the grave: the coalsthereof are coalsof fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Manywaterscannotquenchlove, neithercan the floodsdrownit: if a manwould giveallthe substanceof his housefor love, it would utterly be contemned. We have a littlesister, and she hath nobreasts: whatshall we dofor our sisterin the daywhen she shall be spoken for? Ifshe be a wall, we will builduponher a palaceof silver: and ifshe be a door, we will encloseher with boardsof cedar. I am a wall, and my breastslike towers: thenwasI in his eyesas one that foundfavor. Solomonhada vineyardat Baal-hamon; he let outthe vineyardunto keepers; every onefor the fruitthereof was to bringa thousand pieces of silver. My vineyard, which is mine, is beforeme: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keepthe fruitthereof two hundred. Thou that dwellestin the gardens, the companionshearkento thy voice: cause me to hear it . Make haste, my beloved, and be thou liketo a roeorto a younghartuponthe mountainsof spices.
