Hvor vakker og herlig du er min elskede, i all din skjønnhet! Du er rank som et palmetre, dine bryster er som drueklaser. Jeg sa: ‘Jeg vil klatre opp i palmetreet og gripe tak i fruktene.’ La dine bryster være som drueklaser, duften av din pust være som epler. La dine kyss være som den edleste vin, en mild strøm over lepper og tenner!»
