1I would that you, O my kinsman, were he that sucked the breasts of my mother; when I found you without, I would kiss you; yes, they should not despise me. 2I would take you, I would bring you into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me; I would make you to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranates. 3His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. 4I have charged you, you⌃ daughters of Jerusalem, by the virtues of the field, that you⌃ stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please. 5Who is this that comes up all white, leaning on her kinsman? I raised you up under an apple tree; there your mother brought you forth; there she that bore you brought you forth. 6Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave, her shafts are shafts of fire, [even] the flames thereof. 7Much water will not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not drown it; if a man would give all his substance for love, [men] would utterly despise it. 8Our sister is little, and has no breasts; what shall we do for our sister, in the day wherein she shall be spoken for? 9If she is a wall, let us build upon her silver bulwarks; and if she is a door, let us carve for her cedar panels. 10I am a wall, and my breasts are as towers; I was in their eyes as one that found peace. 11Solomon had a vineyard in Beelamon; he let his vineyard to keepers; every one was to bring for its fruit a thousand [pieces] of silver. 12My vineyard, even mine, is before me; Solomon [shall have] a thousand, and they that keep its fruit two hundred. 13You that dwell in the gardens, the companions listen to your voice: make me hear [it]. 14Away, my kinsman, and be like a doe or a fawn on the mountains of spices.
