How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
