He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Sustain me with raisin-cakes refresh me with apples for [am] weak of love I.
Stay ye me with raisins, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6 Left [hand] his [is] under head my and right [hand] his it embraces me.
His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
7 I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem by gazelles or by [the] does of the field if you will awaken - and if you will arouse love until that it will please.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awaken love, until it please.
8 [the] sound of Lover my there! this [is] coming [is] leaping over the mountains [is] bounding over the hills.
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh, leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh in at the windows, he sheweth himself through the lattice.
10 He answered lover my and he said to me arise yourself O friend my beautiful [one] my and come yourself.
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For there! (the winter *Q(K)*) it has passed the rain it has passed away it has gone itself.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The blossoms they have appeared in the land [the] time of pruning it has arrived and [the] sound of the turtle-dove it has been heard in land our.
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing [of birds] is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 The fig tree it has ripened early figs its and the vines - blossom they have given forth odor arise (yourself *Q(K)*) O friend my beautiful [one] my and come yourself.
The fig tree ripeneth her green figs, and the vines are in blossom, they give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 O dove my in [the] clefts of the rock in [the] hiding place of the steep place let see me form your cause to hear me voice your for voice your [is] sweet and form your [is] lovely.
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the steep place, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice: for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
15 Seize for us foxes foxes small [which] ruin vineyards and vineyards our [are] blossom.
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.
16 Lover my [belongs] to me and I [belong] to him who [is] grazing among the lilies.
My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth [his flock] among the lilies.
17 Until that will breathe the day and they will flee the shadows turn be like yourself O lover my a gazelle or [the] fawn of the deer on [the] mountains of ravine[s].
Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
