Your oils have a pleasing fragrance.
    Your name is oil poured out,
    therefore the virgins love you.
Take me away with you.
    Let’s hurry.
    The king has brought me into his rooms.

Friends

We will be glad and rejoice in you.
    We will praise your love more than wine!

Beloved

They are right to love you.
I am dark, but lovely,
    you daughters of Jerusalem,
    like Kedar’s tents,
    like Solomon’s curtains.
