1	O that thou as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
			2	I would lead thee, bring thee into my mother's house, would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
			3	His left hand under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
			4	I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake love, until he please.
			5	Who 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 bare thee.
			6	Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love strong as death; jealousy cruel as the grave: the coals thereof coals of fire, most vehement flame.
			7	Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
			8	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?
			9	If she a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
			10	I a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
			11	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.
			12	My vineyard, which mine, before me: thou, O Solomon, a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
			13	Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear .
			14	Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
