I am taking the liberty to open the innings since I can't believe the most discussed subject in the old format has been abandoned. Why so? New Year's resolution or what?
Here are some lyrics from the "wisest man"
www.bartleby.com/108/22/1.htmlThe Song of Solomon
1
The Bride and the Daughters of Jerusalem
1
The Song of songs, which is Solomon's. 1 Kgs. 4.32
2
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth:
for thy love is better than wine.
3
Because of the savor of thy good ointments
thy name is as ointment poured forth,
therefore do the virgins love thee.
4
Draw me, we will run after thee:
the King hath brought me into his chambers:
we will be glad and rejoice in thee,
we will remember thy love more than wine:
the upright love thee.
5
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,
as the tents of Kedar,
as the curtains of Solomon.
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.
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?
8
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women,
go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock,
and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
