“ Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. 22:005:001 I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. 22:005:002 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. ”

“ Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. 22:002:014 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. 22:002:015 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. 22:002:016 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. 22:002:017 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. ”

“ I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. 22:008:003 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. 22:008:004 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. 22:008:005 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. 22:008:006 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death ”
