Song of Solomon 1:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Because of the [a]savor of thy good ointments, thy name is as an ointment poured out: therefore the [b]virgins love thee.
3 [c]Draw me: we will run after thee: the King hath brought me into his [d]chambers: we will rejoice and be glad in thee: we will remember thy love more than wine: the righteous do love thee.
4 I am [e]black, O daughters of Jerusalem, but comely, as the tents of [f]Kedar, and as the [g]curtains of Solomon.
