Song of Solomon 7:3 RThy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

Song of Solomon 7:11 Come, my beloved, Rlet us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.

Song of Solomon 7:13 The Rmandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
