8. Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way [to] her house he doth step,
9. In the twilight--in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness.
10. And, lo, a woman to meet him--(A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart,
11. Noisy she [is], and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not.
12. Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) - -
13. And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him,
14. `Sacrifices of peace-offerings [are] by me, To-day I have completed my vows.
15. Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee.
16. [With] ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works--cotton of Egypt.
17. I sprinkled my bed--myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18. Come, we are filled [with] loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.
19. For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey.
