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

⁶ HEHow beautiful, and how delightful, O dear love, for delights: ⁷ This thy stature, is like to a palm-tree, and, thy breasts, are like clusters: ⁸ I said, I will ascend the palm-tree, I will lay hold of its fruit stalks - Oh then, let thy breasts, I pray thee, be like vine-clusters, And, the fragrance of thy nose, like apples; ⁹ And, thy mouth, like good wine - SHEFlowing to my beloved smoothly, gliding over the lips of the sleeping. ¹⁰ I, am my beloved's, and, unto me, is his longing.

¹¹ Come, my beloved, Let us go forth into the country, Let us stay the night in the villages: ¹² Let us get up early to the vineyards, Let us see whether the vine, hath burst forth, the blossom, hath opened, the pomegranates, have bloomed, - There, will I give my caresses to thee. ¹³ The love-apples, have given fragrance, and, at our openings, are all precious things, new and yet old, - O my beloved! I have treasured them up for thee.

¹ Oh that thou hadst been a very brother to me, who had sucked the breasts of my own mother, - Had I found thee without, I had kissed thee, Yea, folk would not have despised me! ² I would have guided thee - brought thee into the house of my mother, Thou wouldst have instructed me, - I would have let thee drink of spiced wine, of the pressed-out juice of my pomegranate. ³ His left hand under my head, then, his right hand, embraceth me. ⁴ I HEadjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, - Why will ye wake, and why will ye arouse the dear love until she please! ****
