3:2 Vadam et circuibo civitatem: per vicos et plateas
quaeram quem diligit anima mea; quaesivi illum, et non inveni.
5:8 Adiuro vos, filiae Jerusalem, si inveneritis dilectum meum, ut annuntietis ei

5:9b Qualis est dilectus tuus, quia sic adiurasti nos?
5:10 Dilectus meus candidus et rubicundus, electus ex milibus.
5:16b Talis est dilectus meus, et est amicus meus, filiae Jerusalem.
5:17 Quo abiit dilectus tuus, o pulcherrima mulierum? Quo declinavit?
et quaeremus eum tecum.
7:8 Ascendit in palmam, et apprehendit fructus eius.
