9 "How is your beloved better then any other beloved, oh most beautiful of all women? How is your beloved better then any other beloved, that you have made us swear this thing?" Young Woman
10 "My beloved is dazzling and fresh, standing out among ten thousand. 11 His head is as gold, fine gold. The locks of his hair clusters, black like the ravens. 12 His eyes are like doves by streams of water, which are bathing in milk, sitting in the edges. 13 His cheeks are as beds of spices, towers of scented perfume, his lips are as lilies that drip with liquid myrrh.

I am only for my beloved and he wants only me. 11 Come with me, my beloved, to the field and spend the night among the henna plants. 12 Then we can rise early and make our way to the vineyards and we can see if the vine has bloomed, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates are coming out, and there we can love each other. 13 The mandrakes give off a certain smell and at our doorways are a variety of the best fruits.

Young Women of Jerusalem
5 "Who do we see coming up from the wilderness leaning on the one that she loves?" Young Woman
"You I awakened from under the apple tree right where your mother conceived you, and there is where she also gave birth to you. 6 Place me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death is its jealousy as unyielding as the grave. It burns with a blazing fire, the mighty flame of Yah, 7 many waters cannot extinguish love nor can rivers wash it away. If a man were to give everything he owned for the sake of love, his offer would be rejected."
