The Beloved's Excellence
Song of Solomon 2:3-7
3
As a citron among trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit is sweet to my palate.
4
He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me is love,
5
Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I am sick with love.
6
His left hand is under my head, And his right doth embrace me.
7
I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!
