bWe will run after1 you.
The king chas brought me into his chambers.
We will be glad and rejoice in1 you.
We will remember your love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you.

O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
Because the sun has1 tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own avineyard I have not kept.
(To Her Beloved)
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who1 veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?
The Beloved
1Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.

Song of Solomon 1:6
Look not - With wonder and disdain. Mother's children - False brethren, who pretend that the church is their mother, when their actions demonstrate, that God, the husband of the church, is not their father; hypocritial professors, who are, and ever were, the keenest enemies; false teachers, and their followers, who by their corrupt doctrines, and divisions, and contentions, bring great mischief to the church. Made me - Having prevailed against me, they used me like a slave, putting me upon the most troublesome services, such as the keeping of the vineyards was esteemed, II Kings 25:12; Isaiah 61:5; Matthew 20:1-7. Not kept - They gave me such a full employment in the drudging work about their vineyards, that they left me no time to mind my own; they hindered me from doing my own duty, and from minding my own concerns. And therefore it is no wonder if I be uncomely and scorched by the sun.
