1 I am come935 into my garden,1588 my sister,269 my spouse:3618 I have gathered717 my myrrh4753 with5973 my spice;1313 I have eaten398 my honeycomb3293 with5973 my honey;1706 I have drunk8354 my wine3196 with5973 my milk:2461 eat,398 O friends;7453 drink,8354 yea, drink abundantly,7937 O beloved.1730
