- How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
- This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
- I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
- And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
- I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

- How beautiful you are and how pleasing, O love, with your delights!
- Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
- I said, "I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit." May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples,
- and your mouth like the best wine. May the wine go straight to my lover, flowing gently over lips and teeth.
- I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me.
