\s5
\sp The woman's lover speaking to himself
\q
\v 11 I went down into the grove of nut trees
\q to see the young growth in the valley,
\q to see whether the vines had budded,
\q and whether the pomegranates were in bloom.

\q I was riding in the chariot of a prince.
\b

\q as if I were dancing between two rows of dancers?
