Love and Odd Similes From Song of Songs
I
Beloved
Your name is like perfume poured out
Take me away with you - let us hurry
Lover
I liken you my darling to a mare
Harnessed to one of pharaoh's chariots
II
Beloved
My lover is to me a sachet of myrhh
Resting between my breasts
Lover
How beautiful you are, my darling!
Your eyes are doves
Beloved
How handsome you are, my lover
And our bed is verdant
III
Beloved
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley
Lover
Like a lily among thorns
Is my darling among the maidens
Beloved
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest
Is my lover among the young men
My lover is like a gazelle or a young stag
