I lead thee, I bring thee in unto my mother's house , She doth teach me , I cause thee to drink of the perfumed wine , Of the juice of my pomegranate,

Solomon hath a vineyard in Baal-Hamon , He hath given the vineyard to keepers, Each bringeth for its fruit a thousand silverlings;

But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you , O Solomon , and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

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