As one who had been nourished in the bosom of my mother!

If I found thee in the street I would kiss thee,

And should no more be reproached.

I would bring thee into the house of my mother; [[185]]

Thou shouldst be my teacher,

I would cause thee to drink

Of the aromatic wine,

Of my pomegranate juice.

3 Let his left hand be under my head,
