My sister, my spouse!
aHow much better than wine is your love,
And the1 scent of your perfumes
Than all spices!
Drip as the honeycomb;
aHoney and milk are under your tongue;
And the fragrance of your garments
Is blike the fragrance of Lebanon.
Calamus and cinnamon,
With all trees of frankincense,
Myrrh and aloes,
With all the chief spices—
The Shulamite
And come, O south!
Blow upon my garden,
That its spices may flow out.
aLet my beloved come to his garden
And eat its pleasant bfruits.

Song of Solomon 4:12
A garden - For order and beauty, for pleasant walks, and flowers, and fruits. Inclosed - Defended by the care of my providence: and reserved for my proper use. Shut up - To preserve it from all pollution, and to reserve it for the use of its owner, for which reason, springs were shut up in those countries where water was scarce and precious.
