2 As the lily among thorns, so
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I
6 His left hand
7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake
8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing
13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines
14 O my dove,
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines
16 My beloved
17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
