The Beloved's Excellence
Song of Solomon 2:3-7
3
As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate.
4
He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.
5
Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I languish with love.
6
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
7
I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and the harts of the field, that you stir not up, nor make the beloved to awake, till she please.
