2 Let him kiss me with the1 kisses of his mouth—

Your name is ointment poured forth;
Therefore the virgins love you.

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. 

The Daughters of Jerusalem The Shulamite The Daughters of Jerusalem The Shulamite

5 I am dark, but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark,
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.

Song of Solomon 1:2

Let him kiss me, etc. - She speaks of the bridegroom in the third person, to testify her own modesty, and to show him the greater respect.

Thy love is better than wine - The versions in general translate dodeyca , thy breasts; and they are said to represent, spiritually, the Old and New Testaments.
