And your mouth is as fine wine, within - [She] It belongs to my beloved, running freely, stirring speech on sleeping lips. I belong to my beloved; and his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, let us go out to the field, let us lodge among the villages; we shall rise early and go to the vineyards, to see whether the vine has blossomed, whether its flowers have opened, whether the pomegranate buds have burst; and there I shall give you my love. The mandrakes yield their fragrance, and at our own doorway, the choicest of fruits, both new and old; my beloved, I have stored them up for you. [She] Would that you had been as a brother to me; that you had nursed at my mother's breast. I would meet you outside, I would kiss you, and none would put me to shame. I would lead you, I would bring you into my mother's house; you would teach me. I would give you to drink spiced wine, the juice of my pomegranate. His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Adjure me, daughters of Jerusalem, tell me, why do you seek to awaken, why to stir, this love before its hour? [Friends] Who is this, coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? [She] Under the apple tree I awakened you; there your mother bore you, there in travail she brought you forth. Set me as a seal upon your heart, as the seal upon your arm - for love is as strong as death itself, and jealousy as hard as the grave; it burns with fiery sparks, with the LORD's own flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor floods carry it off. Were a man to offer all his inheritance for love - they would mock him to shame. [The Brothers] We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet formed; what are we to do for our sister when a man comes for her? If she were a wall, we would raise a watchtower of silver; if a door, we would fasten her with cedar. [She] Yet I am a wall. My breasts are as towers. It was in being so that I found peace in his eyes. Solomon once had a vineyard at Ba'al Hamon. He gave the vineyard to keepers; each keeper brought him a thousand of silver from its fruit. My vineyard is before me, mine own: Solomon, keep your thousand; give two hundred to each keeper of the vines. [He] \"You who still dwell in the gardens, companions listen for your voice. Let me hear.\" [She] Flee away, my beloved, like a gazelle, or a young deer, across hills of perfume."
