I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.\n \n6\u00a0Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.\n \n7\u00a0Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.\n \n8\u00a0We 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?\n \n9\u00a0If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.\n \n10\u00a0I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.\n \n11\u00a0Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.\n \n12\u00a0My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.\n \n13\u00a0Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.\n \n14\u00a0Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.","title":"King James Version: Song of Solomon (Canticles): Song of ...","type":"page"}
