In context
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. 18Come, let us drink our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with caresses. 19For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. 20He took a bag of money in his hand; he will not come home until the full moon.” 21With her many persuasions she turns him aside; with her smooth lips she drives him on.
