set aboutºº
with lilies.º |

which lookethºº
towardº
Damascus.º |

to the palm tree,º
I will take holdºº
of the boughsº
thereof: nowº
also thy breastsº
shall beº
as clustersº
of the vine,º

7:9
and thy throat as good wine, going well with my kinsman, suiting my lips and teeth. |
7:9
And the roof of thy mouthº
like the bestº
wineº
for my beloved,º
that goethºº
[down] sweetly,º
causing the lipsº
of those that are asleepº
to speak.ºº |

Come,ººº
my beloved,º

into the field;º
let us lodgeºº

Let us go early into the vineyards; let us see if the vine has flowered, [if] the blossoms have appeared, if the pomegranates have blossomed; there will I give thee my breasts. |
7:12
Let us get up earlyºº
to the vineyards;º
let us seeºº
ifº
the vineº
flourish,ºº
[whether] the tender grapeº

[and] the pomegranatesº
bud forth:ºº
thereº
will I giveºº
theeº
my loves.º |
