Song of Solomon 1:1-4
New International Version - UK

1 Solomon’s Song of Songs.

She[a]

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth –
    for your love is more delightful than wine.
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
    your name is like perfume poured out.
    No wonder the young women love you!
4 Take me away with you – let us hurry!
    Let the king bring me into his chambers.

Friends

We rejoice and delight in you;[b]
    we will praise your love more than wine.

She

How right they are to adore you!
