VIII/6
Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
as a seal upon thine arm:

for love is strong as death;
jealousy is cruel as the grave:

II/2
As the lily among thorns,
so is my love among the daughters.

II/3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

VI/10
Who is she
that looketh forth as the morning,
fair as the moon,
clear as the sun,
and terrible as an army with banners?

VIII/3
His left hand should be under my head,
and his right hand should embrace me.

VIII/7
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it:
if a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
it would utterly be contemned.
