3 (Chapter 4, 1:1 - 7:9)
Chapter
4 [S to SW]~~ "Thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks" {Note: Her face has symmetry - her frame of hair and eyes - compliment each other beautifully.}
[S
to SW]~~"Thy hair is like a flock of goats, {Note: Dark haired goats contrasted to the mountainside, blue sky above - beautiful colored hair}
[S

[S]4~~
"Thy neck is like the tower of David
[S]5~~
"Thy two breasts are like two young roes
[SW]6~~
"Until the day break, {Note: She will remember her SL to protect her-fragrance of memories!}
[S]7~~
"You . . . completely beautiful, my love {NOte: Her soul and body match in excellent beauty per Solomon}. [S]8~~ "Come with me from Lebanon, my bride." {Note" Solomon is taking credit to himself - SW is NOT his bride in reality- Solomon assumes no woman would ever turn down his proposal of marriage.}
[S]~~
"With me from Lebanon, {Note: Solomon apparently has 5 lodges where he is saying he will take her on the honeymoon - doesn't ask HER where she wants to go - HE wants to go to the mountains!}
[S]9~~{WHY
he wants to marry her - she has robbed his heart} "Thou hast
ravished my heart, my sister [S]10~~ "How beautiful is thy love, my sister, my spouse!" {Note: He assumes she is responding to him even though he has given her nothing from which to respond.}

much better is thy love than wine!

[S]12~~"A
garden enclosed is my sister, my bride;
[S]13-15~~{S
has worked himself up to passion though she has not responded to
him} "Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, {NOte: Half these things Solomon likes to eat, other half he likes to smell - all relates to passion.}
[S]~~
"A fountain of gardens,
[SW]16~~
{As she pushes Solomon away }
[SW]~~"Let
my beloved come into his garden, {Note: SW is thinking of, and only wants, her right man - SL}
