Shulamite says "my beloved" and "I love" when she talks about a shepherd: > Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make > it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the > flocks of your companions? (1/7) > > My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies > (2/16) > > My beloved has gone to his garden, To the beds of spices, To feed his > flock in the gardens, And to gather lilies (6/2) > > I am my beloveds, And my beloved is mine. He feeds his flock among the > lilies (6/3) However, when she mentions Solomon, she doesn't call him "my beloved" and doesn't say "I love" > Draw me away! We will run after you. The king has brought me into his > chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember yyour > love more than wine. Rightly do they love you (1/4) > > While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance > (1/12) > > Behold, it is Solomońs couch, With sixty valiant men around it, Of > the valiant of Israel. They all hold swords, Being expert in war. > Every man has his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night. Of > the wood of Lebanon Solomon the King Made himself a palanquin: He made > its pillars of silver, Its support of gold, Its seat of purple, Its > interior paved with love By the daughters of Jerusalem. Go forth, O > daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his > mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness > of his heart (3/7-11) > > Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon; He leased the vineyard to > keepers; Everyone was to bring for its fruit A thousand silver coins > (8/11) > > My own vineyard is before me. You, O Solomon, may have a thousand, And > those who tend its fruit two hundred (8/12)
