Song of Solomon 2:2-7

²Lov. As the lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

³M. As the apple-tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. In his shadow I love to sit down, And his fruit is sweet to my taste.

⁴He hath brought me to his banqueting-house, And his banner over me is love. Strengthen me with raisins,

⁵Refresh me with apples! For I am sick with love.

⁶His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraceth me!

⁷Lov. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please!
