From Solomon’s Song of Songs, Chapter 2, verse 16, the most passionate
declaration of love in the Bible. This 15th century phrase is engraved in
black letter face around the outside of the Band.
The chapter begins:
1 I am the
rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
And closes:
17 Until the day break and the shadows
flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon
the mountains of Bether.
