Revised Standard Version RSV

8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister, on the day when she is spoken for?

9 If she is a wall, we will build upon her a battlement of silver; but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

10 I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who brings peace.

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Ba'al-ha'mon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.

12 My vineyard, my very own, is for myself; you, O Solomon, may have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.

13 O you who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice; let me hear it.

14 Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of spices.
