Amor de Casal

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

18 And the LORD God said: 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.'

9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my bride; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one bead of thy necklace.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth--for thy love is better than wine.

3 Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy name is as ointment poured forth; therefore do the maidens love thee.

6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave; the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned.

5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken.

15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as doves.

16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our couch is leafy.

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a great good, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed; and have joy of the wife of thy youth.

19 A lovely hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; with her love be thou ravished always.

20 Why then wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of an alien?

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And the man said: 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.'

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.

15 And not one hath done so who had exuberance of spirit! For what seeketh the one? a seed given of God. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
