| I am a rose of Sharon, a rose of the valleys.” |
| “As a rose among the thorns, so is my beloved among the daughters.” |
| “As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the sons; in his shade I delighted and sat, and his fruit was sweet to my palate. |
| He brought me to the banquet hall, and his attraction to me love. |
| Sustain me with flagons of wine, spread my bed with apples, for I am lovesick. |
| His left hand was under my head, and his right hand would embrace me. |
| I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the hinds of the field, that you neither awaken nor arouse the love while it is desirous. |
