The Beloved to Her Lover:
8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon;
he leased out 1 the vineyard to those who maintained it.
Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
8:12 My vineyard, 2 which belongs to me, 3 is at my disposal alone. 4
The thousand shekels belong to you, O Solomon,
and two hundred shekels belong to those who maintain it for its fruit.
The Lover to His Beloved:
8:13 O you who stay in the gardens,
my companions are listening attentively 5 for your voice;
let me be the one to 6 hear it! 7
The Beloved to Her Lover:
8:14 Make haste, my beloved!
Be like a gazelle or a young stag
on the mountains of spices.
