PARAPHRASING
TI{E FIRSTSONG

The author describesthe situation when the bride ask the people or maybe limited
to her family to let a man, that is the groom, to kiss her wtth the kisses of his
mouth for his love is better than wine. Next the author mentions that becauseof
the savour of the groom's good ointments then his name is as ointment poured
forth, therefore do the virgins love him. After that, the bride tells the groom to
draw her and she will run after him: finally, the king - the groom - hath brought
the bride into his chambers.Therefore,the bride says:she will be glad and rqoice
in the groom, she will remember his love more than wine. Once again the author
states:the uprights love the groom.
Next, the bride tells the women of Jerusalemthat she is black but comely. She
mentions the reason,that is, becausethe sun hath looked upon her: her mother's
children were angry with her, they made her the keeper ofthe vineyards,but her
own vineyard has she not kept.
Then the author tells us that the bride asks the groom, whom her soul loveth, tell
her where the groom feedest,where the gtoom makest thy flock to rest at noon:
fro why should shebe as one that turneth aside by the flocks ofthe companions.

Therefore, here is the part of the groom, the groom tell the bride, the fairest
among women, that if she know not, go her way forth by the footsteps of the
flock, and feed her kids besidethe shepherds'tents. The groom has comparedthe
bride, his love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. Her cheeks are

comely with rows of jewels, her neck with chains of gold. So, the groom will
make her bordersof gold with studsof silver.
The bride replies the groom by saying: when the king sitteth at his table, her
spikenardsendethlbrth the smell thereof. The bride saysthat a bundle of mynh is
her beloved unto her; he shall lie all night betwixt her breasts.Her beloved is unto
her as a cluster of camphire in the vineyardsof Engedi.
Next, the groom takes the turn replying the bride by saying:"behold, thou art fair,
my love; behold thou art fair, thou has doves' eyes."
Then the bride replies the same sentence:behold thou art fair, my beloved. Then
the bride adds: yea pleasant, their bed is green. The beams of their house are
cedar, and their rafters of fir. Therefore, she statesthat she is the rose of Sharon,
and the lily ofthe valleys.
Next, the groom replies that, as the lily among thoms so is his beloved among the
daughters.
After that, the bride replies that, as the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so

is her beloved among the sons. She sat down under his shadowwith great delight,
and his fruit was sweet to her taste. The groom brought her to the banqueting
house and the groom's banner over her was love. Stay her with flagons, comfort
her with apples: for she is sick of love. The bride tells us that the groom's left
hand is under her head,and his right doth embraceher.
The last, the bride curses:she chargesthem, daughtersof Jerusalem,by the roes,
and by the hinds of the held, that they stir not up, nor awake her love, till he
olease.

PARAPHRASING

TFIESXTH SONG

The author tells us that the women of Jerusalemask each other: who is this that
cometh up from the wilderness,leaning upon her beloved?
Then the bride saysthat she raised the groom up under the apple tree. In the same
place, the groom's mother brought him forth. There also, his mother brought him
forth that bare him.
After that, the bride asks the groom to set her as a seal upon his heart, as a seal
upon his arm: for her love is strong as death,andjealousy is cruel as the grave.

Her love is like the coals of fire which hath a most vehementflame. She saysthat
many water cannot quench love; neither can the floods drown it.
Then, at last, the bride warns us that if we would give all the substanceof our
housefor love, it would utterly be contemned.
