   wine.

   we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine:   
   the upright love thee. Song of Solomon 1:5

   as the curtains of Solomon.   
   Song of Solomon 1:6   
   6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me:   
   my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the   
   vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. Song of Solomon 1:7   
   7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest   
   thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by   
   the flocks of thy companions?

   thereof.

   the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. Song of   
   Solomon 2:8   
   8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains,   
   skipping upon the hills.

   than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! Song of Solomon
