The Chorus
8 “We have a little sister,
And she (A)has no breasts;
What shall we do for our sister
On the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
We will build on her a battlement of silver;
But if she is a door,
We will barricade her with (B)planks of cedar.”
The Bride
10 “I was a wall, and (C)my breasts were like towers;
Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.
