O that thou
wert
as
my
brother ,
that
sucked
the
breasts
of

! when

find
thee
without
, I would kiss thee;
yea
, I
should
not
be
despised
.
O that you
were
to
me
like
a
brother who
nursed
at
my mother’s
breasts
! If
I found
you
outdoors
, I would kiss you
, and
no
one
would
despise
me
.
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
.
I would lead you
and bring you
to
the
house of
my
mother
who taught

charge
you,
O daughters of Jerusalem, that
ye
stir
not up,
nor
awake
my
love ,
until he
please

you:
Do

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
.
Who is this coming
up from the wilderness, leaning on
her beloved? I roused
you
under the apple tree ;
there your
mother conceived
you;

and
brought you
forth.
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
.
Set me as a seal over
your
heart, as a seal upon your
arm .
For love is as
strong as death ,
its
jealousy as unrelenting
as
Sheol.
Its
sparks
are fiery
flames
, the
fiercest
blaze
of
all
.
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
.
Mighty
waters cannot quench love ;
rivers
cannot
sweep
it away.
If a man were
to
give all the wealth
of his house for love, his
offer
would be utterly
scorned
.

hath
no
breasts :

yet
grown.

the day she is

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.

a wall, we will build a tower
of silver to
protect
her.
If she is
a door, we will enclose
her with panels
of cedar.
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers :
then
was
I in his eyes as
one that
found
favour
.
I am a wall, and my breasts are
like towers .
So
I have
become
in his eyes like
one who
brings
peace
.

Baalhamon;
he let
out
the vineyard
unto
keepers;
every
one
for the
fruit thereof
was to bring a thousand pieces
of silver.
Solomon had a vineyard in

which
is mine ,
is
before
me:
thou
, O Solomon, must
have
a
thousand,
and those

two hundred.

give;

for
those
who
tend
its
fruit
.

that
dwellest
in the gardens, the
companions hearken
to
thy
voice :

in the gardens, my
companions are
listening
for
your
voice .
Let
me hear it !

a young hart
upon
the mountains of spices.
Come
away
, my beloved, and be like a gazelle
or a young stag
on
the mountains of spices.
