4. He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.
5. Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.
6. His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.
7. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, Until he please.
8. The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.
9. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He looketh in at the windows; He glanceth through the lattice.
10. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11. For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone;
12. The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
13. 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.
