| 1)   |  I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. | 
		
			| 2)   |  As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. | 
		
			| 3)   |  As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. | 
		
			| 4)   |  He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. | 
		
			| 5)   |  Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. | 
		
			| 6)   |  His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. | 
		
			| 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 my love, till he please. | 
		
			| 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, showing 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 and gone; | 
		
			| 12)   |  The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; | 
		
			| 13)   |  The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. | 
		
			| 14)   |  O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. | 
		
			| 15)   |  Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. | 
		
			| 16)   |  My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. | 
		
			| 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. |
