Group One - Eros

'My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.' 
Song of Solomon.

If you most agreed with the statements in Group One, then (according to John Lee) your love is strongly erotic in character: passionate, physical, romantic.  You want to make love in the bath but only by candlelight, and all your favourite films have tearsome, happy endings.

 For you, this Monday: the oldest love poem in the world.  The poem was found etched into a stone using the world's most ancient script: the beautiful, pictorial cunieform.  The poem is 4,000 years old written from a priestess to a king, possibly used for ritual purposes: http://maviboncuk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/istanbul-2461-worlds-oldest-love-poem.html  

Some of the poem's phrases are similar to the Bible's Song of Solomon: http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvCant.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=all.
