RF SOL 1:1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
PRELUDE.
(In a village.)
RF SOL 1:2 SHEPHERDESS.
Let him kiss me with his kissing mouth;—
For your love is sweeter than wine!
RF SOL 1:3 SHEPHERD.
Your breath is a charming perfume!
SHEPHERDESS.
Your fame is abroad;—that all the girls love you!
RF SOL 1:4 SHEPHERD.
Entice me!—I'll run after you!
(She runs off in sport.)
ACT 1. SCENE 1.
(In DAVID'S Park Lodge. The SHEPHERDESS sings on being to the other attendants in DAVID'S Park Palace.)
SHEPHERDESS.
The King has brought to his home.
ATTENDANTS.
We are pleased and delighted with you!
Your charms are more pleasant than wine;—
The Princes will love!
RF SOL 1:5 SHEPHERDESS in reply.
I am dusky but comely,
Jerusalem's girls!
Like pavilions of Kedar,
Like Solomon's tents;—
RF SOL 1:6 Oh! look not on me!
I am black!
The sun has embrowned me!
The sons of my mother were cruel to me,—
They set me to watch in the Vineyard,
So my own Vineyard I never could guard!
RF SOL 1:7 SCENE 2.
(The SHEPHERDESS alone and in the KING'S Park thinking of her Shepherd lover.)
(Sings.) Oh! tell me, you love of my soul,
Where you pasture?
Where your flocks lie at noon?
Why should I go wandering alone,
With my flock not alongside of yours?
RF SOL 1:8 (Her lover who has come to see her replies from the bushes.)
SHEPHERD sings.
If you do not know, oh most charming of maids
Follow on by the track of the sheep,
And pasture your lambs
By the tents in the mead!
RF SOL 1:9 SCENE 3.
(Solomon walking in the Park sees and begins to court the SHEPHERDESS.)
SOLOMON.
To the steeds in the Chariot of Pharaoh
I would compare you my girl!
RF SOL 1:10 Your cheeks are made charming with ringlets,
With corals your neck!
RF SOL 1:11 I will make for you girdles of gold,
With silver for clasps!
RF SOL 1:12 (SHEPHERDESS in response replies with cross purposes, to evade SOLOMON'S flattery, pretending she has to go to DAVID, whom she is nursing.)
SHEPHERDESS.
The King now returns from his stroll;—
I must run to attend him.
RF SOL 1:13 (SOLOMON, trying to retain her by further flatteries.)
My dear, you're a satchet of Myrrh
To be laid in my breast
RF SOL 1:14 My dove, you're a cluster of roses,
In Engedi's gardens!
RF SOL 1:15 (The SHEPHERDESS leaves, and SOLOMON calls after her.)
SOLOMON.
You are charming, my love, you are charming!
You have eyes like a dove!
RF SOL 1:16 You are charming, my love, you are charming!—
Let our roof be green leaves.
RF SOL 1:17 And the beams of our house fir-tree boughs,
And the Cypress our screen!
