Song of Solomon
Chapter
6 [SW]2~~ "My beloved is gone down into his garden {'garden' is SL's daily activities}, to the beds of spices {pleasant disposition}, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies." {going about his job, enjoying it, and enjoying the details of life if you are well adjusted} [SW]3~~ "I . . . my beloved's; my beloved . . . mine! {in each others soul} He feedeth among the lilies." [S continues without hearing SW's commentary]4~~ "Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah. {S's royal residence - great beauty and symmetry - and saying she and palace go together-double analogy} [S]~~ "Comely as Jerusalem." {was a beautiful white city sitting in the hills} [S]~~"Majestic as a military standard." {which is beautiful for a military man to see -also was a system of communication in battle - wants a relationship with her} [S]5~~ "Turn away thine eyes from me , for they have overcome me." {sense of humor - she is glaring and he says your eyes are overcoming me} [S]~~ "Thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead." {S is repeating himself} [S]6~~ "Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them." [S]7~~ "As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks." [S]8~~ "There are threescore queens {60}, and fourscore concubines {80}, and virgins without number." {S bragging on his harem} [S]9~~ "My dove, my undefiled is but one." {SW is a virgin} [S]~~ " She is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her." {S says SW was the favorite child of her mother} [S]~~ "The daughters saw her, and blessed her." {says the DJ's saw her and were impressed} [S]~~ "Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her." {same with the others of the harem} [DJ]10~~"Who is she that looketh forth as the morning?" {SW is seeing SL coming in a chariot and responding to him and she is now glowing like the sun} [DJ]~~ "Fair as the moon {reflecting SL's glory}, clear as the sun, and majestic as an army with banners?" [SW makes an excuse to leave S]11~~ "I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded." {"I want to go walk through the garden"} [SW]12~~ Before I knew it, I was in a chariot beside my prince. {SL came to rescue SW from S} [DJ]13~~ "Return, return, O Shulamite!" [DJ]~~ "Return, return, that we may look upon thee." {DJ's exit stage and JQ enters} [JQ to S]~~ "What do ye see in the Shulamite?" {what do you see in her?} [S responds to JQ]~~ "As it were the company of two armies." {illustration of a majestic vision - S believes SW is his 'right woman' - all that he wants in a woman - an may have been true but S blew it with his harem}
