Ah, such a scholar will well be welcome in the 'Dragon, Bethberry, a stout it is
Song of Solomon, a favourite of weddings (I do alot of weddings, because I sing in the Church Choir, and it comes up at all of them. Really. All.), but that particular passage, I think, is so good in it's entirety: I couldn't find a way to cut it down and not leave my siggy feeling unfinished. So I looked further.
