3His left hand [should be] under my head, And his right hand should embrace me.

4I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, That ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, Until he please.

5Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple-tree I awakened thee: There thy mother was in travail with thee, There was she in travail that brought thee forth.

6Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol; The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, A very flame of Jehovah.

7Many waters cannot quench love, Neither can floods drown it: If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, He would utterly be contemned.

8We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for?

9If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver: And if she be a door, We will inclose her with boards of cedar.
