Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:1 -

That sucked the breasts of my mother!
When I should find thee without, I would kiss thee;
Yea, and none 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.

Until he please.

Leaning upon her beloved?
Under the apple-tree I awakened thee:
There thy mother was in travail with thee,
There was she in travail that brought thee forth.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:6 -
Set me as a seal upon thy heart,
As a seal upon thine arm:
For love is strong as death;
Jealousy is cruel as Sheol;
The flashes thereof are flashes of fire,
A very flame of Jehovah.

Neither can floods drown it:
If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
He would utterly be contemned.

And she hath no breasts:
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she shall be spoken for?

And if she be a door,
We will inclose her with boards of cedar.

Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.

Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

Thou, O Solomon, shalt have the thousand,
And those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:13 -
Thou that dwellest in the gardens,
The companions hearken for thy voice:
Cause me to hear it.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:14 -
Make haste, my beloved,
And be thou like to a roe or to a young hart
Upon the mountains of spices.
