3His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4'I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem: Why should ye awaken, or stir up love, until it please?'
5Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple-tree I awakened thee; there thy mother was in travail with thee; there was she in travail and brought thee forth.
6Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave; the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.
7Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned.
8We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts; what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9If she be a wall, we will build upon her a turret of silver; and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof; then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.
