{The Ballad of Ballads of Solomon} O that thy mouth would give me a kiss!

I am black, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, like as the tents of the Kedarenes, and as the hangings of Solomon: but yet am I fair and well favored withal.

Behold, about Solomon's bedstead there stand sixty valiant men of the most mighty in Israel.

King Solomon hath made himself a bedstead of the wood of Lebanon:

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon in the crown, wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his marriage, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; this vineyard delivered he unto the keepers, that every one for the fruit thereof should give him a thousand pieces of silver.

But my vineyard, O Solomon, giveth thee a thousand, and two hundred to the keepers of the fruit.
