7. Surging waters cannot quench love;floodwaters cannot overflow it.If someone were to offer all his possessions to buy love,the offer would be utterly despised.
8. We have a little sister,and as yet she has no breasts.What shall we do for our sisteron the day when she is spoken for?
9. If she is a wall,we will build on her a battlement of silver;but if she is a door,we will barricade her with boards of cedar.
10. I was a wall,and my breasts were like fortress towers.Then I found favor in his eyes.
11. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon;he leased out the vineyard to those who maintained it.Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
12. My vineyard, which belongs to me, is at my disposal alone.The thousand shekels belong to you, O Solomon,and two hundred shekels belong to those who maintain it for its fruit.
13. O you who stay in the gardens,my companions are listening attentively for your voice;let me be the one to hear it!
14. Make haste, my beloved!Be like a gazelle or a young stagon the mountains of spices.
