hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath
redness of eyes?

They that tarry long at the
wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31
Look not thou upon the wine when
it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup,
when
it moveth itself aright.

At the last it biteth like a
serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33
Thine eyes shall behold strange
women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

Yea, thou shalt be as he that
lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon
the top of a mast.
35
They have stricken me,
shalt thou say, and
I was not sick; they have beaten me,
and I felt
it not: when
shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

The Song of Songs,
which is Solomon's. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his

virgins love you. Draw me after you; let us run. The king
has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice
in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do
they love you. I am very dark, but lovely, O daughters of
Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of
Solomon. ...
