1 Oh, that you were like a brother to me,who nursed at my mother’s breasts!If I found you outside,I would kiss you,and no one would despise me.
2 I would lead you and bring youinto the house of my mother,she who used to instruct me.I would give you spiced wine to drink,the juice of my pomegranates.
3 His left hand is under my head,and his right arm embraces me!
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,do not stir up or awaken loveuntil it pleases.
