“^(a)I have ^(A)come into my garden, ^(B)my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my ^(C)myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb ^(b)and my ^(D)honey;
I have ^(E)drunk my wine ^(c)and my milk.
Eat, ^(F)friends;
Drink and ^(d)imbibe deeply, O lovers.”

“^(e)I was asleep but my heart was awake.
A voice! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, ^(G)my sister, my darling,
^(H)My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is ^(f)drenched with dew,
My ^(I)locks with the ^(g)damp of the night.’
