Song of Solomon 1:1-4
Authorized (King James) Version
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth:
for thy love is better than wine.
3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments
thy name is as ointment poured forth,
therefore do the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me, we will run after thee:
the king hath brought me into his chambers:
we will be glad and rejoice in thee,
we will remember thy love more than wine:
the upright love thee.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;
For thy love is better than wine.
3 Thine oils have a goodly fragrance;
Thy name is as oil poured forth;
Therefore do the [a]virgins love thee.
4 Draw me; we will run after thee:
The king hath brought me into his chambers;
We will be glad and rejoice in thee;
We will make mention of thy love more than of wine:
[b]Rightly do they love thee.
