try the Song of Solomon.

I guess I know that as Shir hashirim, or the Song of Songs, but I wasn't sure. I found this text on the 'net, but I didn't find what you might be referring to. Can you help?

i am NOT a Biblical scholar!

one of my English lit. profs, long ago in grad school told our class that this quote was one of many "borrowed passages" that Shakespeare used in his works; my memory of those far away days (30 YEARS AGO!) is that he said the quote was from the Song of Solomon.

may i suggest that you consult a copy of the Oxford Bible, which is a direct translation from Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek & Latin (most large public libraries will have a copy). Professor Cal Guy of the Religion Department of Southwestern Seminary in Ft Worth once told me that that edition was the most direct/literal translation of the Bible, that is in English.
