Song of Solomon 2.4-7

2. As a 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 sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.

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. (Song of Solomon 2:2-9, ASV)

4. He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love. 5. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am faint with love. 6. His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me. 7. I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

8. The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills. 9. My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice. (Song of Solomon 2:2-9, WEB)
