I am the rose ²²⁶¹ of Sharon ⁸²⁸⁹ , and the lily ⁷⁷⁹⁹ of the valleys ⁶⁰¹⁰ .

As the lily ⁷⁷⁹⁹ among thorns ²³³⁶ , so is my love ⁷⁴⁷⁴ among the daughters ¹³²³ .

As the apple tree ⁸⁵⁹⁸ among the trees ⁶⁰⁸⁶ of the wood ³²⁹³ , so is my beloved ¹⁷³⁰ among the sons ¹¹²¹ . I sat ^{3427 , 8804} down under his shadow ⁶⁷³⁸ with great delight ^{2530 , 8765} , and his fruit ⁶⁵²⁹ was sweet ⁴⁹⁶⁶ to my taste ²⁴⁴¹ . [I sat...: Heb. I delighted and sat down, etc] [taste: Heb. palate]

He brought ^{935 , 8689} me to the banqueting ³¹⁹⁶ house ¹⁰⁰⁴ , and his banner ¹⁷¹⁴ over me was love ¹⁶⁰ . [banqueting...: Heb. house of wine]

Stay ^{5564 , 8761} me with flagons ⁸⁰⁹ , comfort ^{7502 , 8761} me with apples ⁸⁵⁹⁸ : for I am sick ^{2470 , 8802} of love ¹⁶⁰ . [comfort...: Heb. straw me with apples]

His left hand ⁸⁰⁴⁰ is under my head ⁷²¹⁸ , and his right hand ³²²⁵ doth embrace ^{2263 , 8762} me.

I charge ^{7650 , 8689} you, O ye daughters ¹³²³ of Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ , by the roes ⁶⁶⁴³ , and ¹⁷⁶ by the hinds ³⁵⁵ of the field ⁷⁷⁰⁴ , that ye stir not up ^{5782 , 8686} , nor awake ^{5782 , 8787} my love ¹⁶⁰ , till he please ^{2654 , 8799} . [I charge...: Heb. I adjure you]

The voice ⁶⁹⁶³ of my beloved ¹⁷³⁰ ! behold, he cometh ^{935 , 8802} leaping ^{1801 , 8764} upon the mountains ²⁰²² , skipping ^{7092 , 8764} upon the hills ¹³⁸⁹ .

My beloved ¹⁷³⁰ is like ^{1819 , 8802} a roe ⁶⁶⁴³ or a young ⁶⁰⁸² hart ³⁵⁴ : behold, he standeth ^{5975 , 8802} behind ³¹⁰ our wall ³⁷⁹⁶ , he looketh forth ^{7688 , 8688} at the windows ²⁴⁷⁴ , shewing ^{6692 , 8688} himself through the lattice ²⁷⁶² . [shewing...: Heb. flourishing]

My beloved ¹⁷³⁰ spake ^{6030 , 8804} , and said ^{559 , 8804} unto me, Rise up ^{6965 , 8798} , my love ⁷⁴⁷⁴ , my fair one ³³⁰³ , and come away ^{3212 , 8798} .

For, lo, the winter ⁵⁶³⁸ is past ^{5674 , 8804} , the rain ¹⁶⁵³ is over ^{2498 , 8804} and gone ^{1980 , 8804} ;

The flowers ⁵³³⁹ appear ^{7200 , 8738} on the earth ⁷⁷⁶ ; the time ⁶²⁵⁶ of the singing ²¹⁵⁸ of birds is come ^{5060 , 8689} , and the voice ⁶⁹⁶³ of the turtle ⁸⁴⁴⁹ is heard ^{8085 , 8738} in our land ⁷⁷⁶ ;

The fig tree ⁸³⁸⁴ putteth forth ^{2590 , 8804} her green figs ⁶²⁹¹ , and the vines ¹⁶¹² with the tender grape ⁵⁵⁶³ give ^{5414 , 8804} a good smell ⁷³⁸¹ . Arise ^{6965 , 8798} , my love ⁷⁴⁷⁴ , my fair one ³³⁰³ , and come away ^{3212 , 8798} .

O my dove ³¹²³ , that art in the clefts ²²⁸⁸ of the rock ⁵⁵⁵³ , in the secret ⁵⁶⁴³ places of the stairs ⁴⁰⁹⁵ , let me see ^{7200 , 8685} thy countenance ⁴⁷⁵⁸ , let me hear ^{8085 , 8685} thy voice ⁶⁹⁶³ ; for sweet ⁶¹⁵⁶ is thy voice ⁶⁹⁶³ , and thy countenance ⁴⁷⁵⁸ is comely ⁵⁰⁰⁰ .

Take ^{270 , 8798} us the foxes ⁷⁷⁷⁶ , the little ⁶⁹⁹⁶ foxes ⁷⁷⁷⁶ , that spoil ^{2254 , 8764} the vines ³⁷⁵⁴ : for our vines ³⁷⁵⁴ have tender grapes ⁵⁵⁶³ .

My beloved ¹⁷³⁰ is mine, and I am his: he feedeth ^{7462 , 8802} among the lilies ⁷⁷⁹⁹ .
