(The Shulammite Bride)
“May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!” [Solomon arrives, she turns to him, saying,]
“For your love is better than wine.

Draw me, we will run after you: the king has brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine: the upright love you.

Look not upon me, because I am dark, because the sun has darkened me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not kept.

Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.

“He has brought me to his banquet hall,
And his banner over me is love.

For now the winter is past;
the rain has ended and gone away.

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land;

The fig tree has budded, the vines have blossomed and give off their fragrance. Arise, come away my darling; my beautiful one, come away with me!"

They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man has his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

“King Solomon has made for himself a sedan chair
From the timber of Lebanon.

Go forth, you daughters of Zion, and see king Solomon, with the crown with which his mother has crowned him, in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness of his heart. Lover

Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep whose wool is newly cut, which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my bride; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.

What is thy beloved above any beloved, O fair among women? What is thy beloved above any beloved, That thus thou hast adjured us?

Where has your beloved gone, O you fairest among women? where has your beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with you.

My beloved has gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

How fair and how pleasant hast thou been, O love, in delights.

Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened, and the pomegranates are in bloom: there will I give you my loves.

We have a little sister, and she has no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

Solomon has a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He entrusted the vineyard to caretakers each one is to bring 1,000 pieces of silver in exchange for its fruit.
