7. Even much water cannot put out the flame of love;floods cannot drown love.If a man offered everything in his house for love,people would totally reject it.
8. We have a little sister,and her breasts are not yet grown.What should we do for our sisteron the day she becomes engaged?
9. If she is a wall,we will put silver towers on her.If she is a door,we will protect her with cedar boards.
10. I am a wall,and my breasts are like towers.So I was to him,as one who brings happiness.
11. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon.He rented the vineyards for others to tend,and everyone who rented had to paytwenty-five pounds of silver for the fruit.
12. But my own vineyard is mine to give.Solomon, the twenty-five pounds of silver are for you,and five pounds are for those who tend the fruit.
13. You who live in the gardens,my friends are listening for your voice;let me hear it.
14. Hurry, my lover,be like a gazelleor a young deeron the mountains where spices grow.
