[Chapter 8]
8
O that thou
wert
as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother!
when
I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
2
I would lead thee,
and
bring thee into my mother’s house,
who
would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3
His left hand
should be
under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake
my
love, until he please.
5
Who
is
this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth
that
bare thee.
6
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love
is
strong as death; jealousy
is
cruel as the grave: the coals thereof
are
coals of fire,
which hath a
most vehement flame.
7
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if
a
man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8
We 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?
9
If she
be
a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she
be
a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10
I
am
a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
11
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand
pieces
of silver.
12
My vineyard, which
is
mine,
is
before me: thou, O Solomon,
must have
a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear
it.
14
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
