¹ You are a princess, and your feet are graceful in their sandals. Your thighs are works of art, each one a jewel; ² your navel is a wine glass filled to overflowing. Your body is full and slender like a bundle of wheat bound together by lilies. ³ Your breasts are like twins of a deer. ⁴ Your neck is like ivory, and your eyes sparkle like the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath-Rabbim. Your nose is beautiful like Mount Lebanon above the city of Damascus. ⁵ Your head is held high like Mount Carmel; your hair is so lovely it holds a king prisoner. ⁶ You are beautiful, so very desirable! ⁷ You are tall and slender like a palm tree, and your breasts are full. ⁸ I will climb that tree and cling to its branches. I will discover that your breasts are clusters of grapes, and that your breath is the aroma of apples. ⁹ Kissing you is more delicious than drinking the finest wine. How wonderful and tasty! ¹⁰ My darling, I am yours, and you desire me. ¹¹ Let's stroll through the fields and sleep in the villages. ¹² At dawn let's slip out and see if grapevines and fruit trees are covered with blossoms. When we are there, I will give you my love. ¹³ Perfume from the magic flower fills the air, my darling. Right at our doorstep I have stored up for you all kinds of tasty fruits.
