and that because of the good and pleasant savour. Thy name is sweet smelling ointment when it is shed forth; therefore do the maidens love thee.

Draw thou me unto thee; we will run after thee. The king hath brought me into his privy chamber: We will be glad and rejoice in thee, we think more of thy love than of wine. They that be righteous love thee.

There will I tarry for thee, my love, with mine host and with my chariots, which shall be no fewer than Pharaoh's.

a neck band of gold will we make thee with silver buttons.

Thou art all fair, O my love, and no spot is there in thee.

The fruits that sprout in thee are like a very Paradise of pomegranates with sweet fruits:

Whither is thy love gone then, O thou fairest among women; whither is thy love departed, that we may seek him with thee?

Turn again, turn again, O thou Shulamite; turn again, turn again, that we may look upon thee. What pleasure have ye more in the Shulamite, than when she danceth among the men of war?

That head that standeth upon thee is like Carmel; the hair of thy head is like the king's purple folden up in plates.

In the morning will we rise betimes, and go see the vineyard: if it be sprung forth, if the grapes be grown, and if the pomegranates be shot out. There will I give thee my breasts;

there shall the mandragoras give their smell beside our doors; there, O my love, have I kept unto thee all manner of fruits, both new and old.

O that I might find thee without, and kiss thee, whom I love as my brother which sucked my mother's breasts: and that thou wouldest not be offended,

if I took thee, and brought thee into my mother's house - that thou mightest teach me, and that I might give thee drink of spiced wine and of the sweet sap of my pomegranates.

I am the same that waked thee up among the apple trees, where thy mother bare thee, where thy mother brought thee in to the world.

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

O get thee away, my love, as a roe or a young hart unto the sweet smelling mountains.
