"A multitude of waters cannot extinguish love, nor can a river overwhelm it. If a man were to give all the substance of his house in exchange for love, he would despise it as nothing."
— Song Of Solomon 8:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?”
“ We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for? ”

Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who ascends from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved?
Groom to Bride: Under the apple tree, I awakened you. There your mother was corrupted. There she who bore you was violated.
Set me like a seal upon your heart, like a seal upon your arm. For love is strong, like death, and envy is enduring, like hell: their lamps are made of fire and flames.
A multitude of waters cannot extinguish love, nor can a river overwhelm it. If a man were to give all the substance of his house in exchange for love, he would despise it as nothing.
Chorus: Our sister is little and has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is called upon?
If she is a wall, let us build a rampart of silver upon it. If she is a door, let us join it together with boards of cedar.
Bride to Chorus: I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers, since, in his presence, I have become like one who has discovered peace.
