Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;

Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?

δια τι εφυγες κρυφιως και εκλεψας σεαυτον απ' εμου και δεν μοι εφανερωσας τουτο; διοτι εγω ηθελον σε εξαποστειλει μετ' ευφροσυνης και μετα ασματων, μετα τυμπανων και κιθαρας·

Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
