2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love
is
better than wine.+3Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name
is as
ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.+4Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.+

The Bride

art
fair; thou
hast doves’ eyes.+
The Bride
16Behold, thou
