Song of Solomon 1:2-4
Revised Standard Version
Colloquy of Bride and Friends
2 O that you[a] would kiss me with the kisses of your[b] mouth!
For your love is better than wine,
3 your anointing oils are fragrant,
your name is oil poured out;
therefore the maidens love you.
4 Draw me after you, let us make haste.
The king has brought me into his chambers.
We will exult and rejoice in you;
we will extol your love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.
