Song of Songs
Love poetry, and the Hebrew repays every minute it takes.
The opening
שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים אֲשֶׁר לִשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃
The song of songs which is Shlomo’s.
יִשָּׁקֵנִי מִנְּשִׁיקוֹת פִּיהוּ כִּֽי־טוֹבִים דֹּדֶיךָ מִיָּֽיִן׃
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is dearer than wine.
