      "12": "The flowers appear on the earth;\nThe time of singing has come,\nAnd the voice of the turtledove\nIs heard in our land.",
      "13": "The fig tree puts forth her green figs,\nAnd the vines with the tender grapes\nGive a good smell.\nRise up, my love, my fair one,\nAnd come away!",
      "14": "“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,\nIn the secret places of the cliff,\nLet me see your face,\nLet me hear your voice;\nFor your voice is sweet,\nAnd your face is lovely.”",
      "15": "Catch us the foxes,\nThe little foxes that spoil the vines,\nFor our vines have tender grapes.",
      "16": "My beloved is mine, and I am his.\nHe feeds his flock among the lilies.",
      "17": "Until the day breaks\nAnd the shadows flee away,\nTurn, my beloved,\nAnd be like a gazelle\nOr a young stag\nUpon the mountains of Bether."

      "7": "Behold, it is Solomon’s couch,\nWith sixty valiant men around it,\nOf the valiant of Israel.",
      "8": "They all hold swords,\nBeing expert in war.\nEvery man has his sword on his thigh\nBecause of fear in the night.",
      "9": "Of the wood of Lebanon\nSolomon the King\nMade himself a palanquin:",
      "10": "He made its pillars of silver,\nIts support of gold,\nIts seat of purple,\nIts interior paved with love\nBy the daughters of Jerusalem.",
