Song of Songs 7:6-Song of Songs 8:4 - Solomon Longs For The Young Woman's Affection

⁶ How fair and how pleasant art thou, my love, in delights! ⁷ This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to grape clusters. ⁸ I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof; And thy breasts shall indeed be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples, ⁹ And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine, ... That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, And stealeth over the lips of them that are asleep. ¹⁰ I am my beloved's, And his desire is toward me.

¹¹ Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; Let us lodge in the villages. ¹² We will go up early to the vineyards, We will see if the vine hath budded, If the blossom is opening, And the pomegranates are in bloom: There will I give thee my loves. ¹³ The mandrakes yield fragrance; And at our gates are all choice fruits, new and old: I have laid them up for thee, my beloved.

¹ Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! Should I find thee without, I would kiss thee; And they would not despise me. ² I would lead thee, bring thee into my mother's house; Thou wouldest instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate. ³ His left hand would be under my head, And his right hand embrace me. ⁴ I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, ... Why should ye stir up, why awake my love, till he please?
