Well, some relevant lines from a version of the "Bible:Song of Solomon"
I have online:

Ch 2 vs 1	I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

Ch 2 vs 5	Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples:
		for I am sick of love.
Ch 2 vs 6	His left hand is under my head, and his right hand
		doth embrace me.

I cannot find any references to "Isolde or Marion" or a hurricane,
except for:

Ch 4 vs 16	Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; ...

and the frequents mentions of "daughters of" various places.

Looks like some direct quotes to me!
