Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.

Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers.
Friends
We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. She
How right they are to adore you!

While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
-
She
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
-
Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love.
-
His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
-
She
My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies.

Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
-
My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him.
-
I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer.

His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
-
His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
-
His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh.
-
His arms are rods of gold set with topaz. His body is like polished ivory decorated with lapis lazuli.
-
His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
-
His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
-
She
My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to browse in the gardens and to gather lilies.
-
I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me.
-
His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me.
-
She
I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment.

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon; he let out his vineyard to tenants. Each was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver.
