6 How lovely you are, and how pleasant you are, O love, among rich delights."
7 This is your stature:it is like the date palm, And your breasts like clusters."
8 I said, Let me ascend into the date palm; Let me take hold of its topmost branches. Oh that your breasts may become like the clusters of the vine, And the scent of your nose like apricots,
9 And your palate like the best wine. May it go to my darling, As evenly gliding over lips and teeth."
10 I am my darling's, And his impulse is toward me."
11 Do come, my darling, let us go forth to the field; Let us lodge among the henna bushes;"
12 Let us go early to the vineyards; Let us see if the vine has budded, The vine blossom has opened, And the pomegranates have flowered; There I shall give my affections to you."
13 The mandrakes give forth their scent, And at our portals are all fine fruits, Both new and stored, That I have secluded for you, my darling."
