O<\/span> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n 2<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>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?<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.<\/span> <\/p>\n
