Song of Solomon 2:1-7

1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sata down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the banquetingb house, and his banner over me was love.

5 Stay me with flagons, comfortc me with apples: for I am sick of love.

6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

7 I charged you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
