2 Oh for a kiss of the kisses of his mouth!

For sweet are thy caresses above wine. [[130]]

3 Sweet is the odour of thy perfumes,

Which perfume thou art, by thy name diffused abroad, [[131]]

4 Oh draw me after thee! Oh let us flee together! [[132]]

But we exult and rejoice in thee,

We praise thy love more than wine,
