A poem of Love in honour of the working Mojo

  • As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved
  • among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
  • He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was
  • love.
  • Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of
  • love.
  • His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace
  • me.
  • I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by
  • the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
  • The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the
  • mountains, skipping upon the hills.
  • My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth
  • behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
  • My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair
  • one, and come away.
  • For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
  • The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of
  • birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
  • The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with
  • the tender grape give a good smell.

    Song of Solomon from the Bible, don't ya know...

    This is the bit I think applies most to jerome -

    ...he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

    Sounds about right.
