Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;
For thy love is better than wine.

Thy name is as oil poured forth;
Therefore do the virgins love thee.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:4 -

Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem,
As the tents of Kedar,
As the curtains of Solomon.

Because the sun hath scorched me.

But mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:7 -
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth,
Where thou feedest thy flock,
Where thou makest it to rest at noon:
For why should I be as one that is veiled
Beside the flocks of thy companions?

With studs of silver.

While the king sat at his table,
My spikenard sent forth its fragrance.

In the vineyards of En-gedi.

Behold, thou art fair, my love;
Behold thou art fair;
Thine eyes are as doves.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:16 -
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:
Also our couch is green.

The beams of our house are cedars,
And our rafters are firs.
