Love is Strong as Death
Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
Set me as a seal upon thine arm:
For love is strong as death;
For love is strong as death;
Jealousy is cruel as the grave:
The coals thereof are coals of fire,
Which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can the floods drown it:
If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
It would utterly be contemned.

Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
Set me as a seal upon thine arm:
For love is strong as death;
For love is strong as death;
Jealousy is cruel as the grave:
The coals thereof are coals of fire,
Which hath a most vehement flame.
