Song of Songs ch. 8 (Act XI)

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a sign around your arm.

For love is strong as death, passion cruel as the grave,

its flashes are like the blaze of fierce fire.

(in vehement yearning for her lover)

⎡: Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a sign around your arm. :⎦

Many waters cannot quench love, nor can floods sweep it away.

If a man were to offer all the wealth of his house

to acquire love, everyone would utterly condemn him.

⎡: For love is strong as death, passion cruel as the grave,

its flashes are like blazes of a Divine flame. :⎦
