A. The Bride Responds to Her Lover (7:9b-8:4)

The maiden replies to her lover with an invitation to run free in the fields and vineyards, to enjoy the fruit of nature, and to accept her love unashamedly. With modesty and purity she invokes the daughters of Jerusalem not to interfere with the love that the pair now has come to enjoy. They are well able to carry on their own lovemaking.
