Song of Songs 1:2-6

2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouthH6310;For thy love is betterH2896 than wineH3196.3Thine oilsH8081 have a goodly fragrance;Thy nameH8034 is as oilH8081 poured forth;ThereforeH3651 do the virgins loveH157 thee.4DrawH4900 me; we will runH7323 after thee:The kingH4428 hath broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315;We will be gladH8055 and rejoiceH8055 in thee;We will makeH8055 mention of thy loveH157 more than of wineH3196:Rightly do they loveH157 thee.5I am blackH7838, but comely,Oh ye daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389,As the tentsH168 of KedarH6938,As the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.6LookH7200 not upon me, because I am swarthy,Because the sunH8121 hath scorched me.My mother’sH517 sonsH1121 were incensed against me;They madeH7760 me keeper of the vineyardsH3754;But mine own vineyardH3754 have I not kept.
