10. Your love is so beautiful, my darling, my bride! Your love is better than wine. The smell of your perfume is better than any kind of spice!
11. My bride, your lips drip honey. Honey and milk are under your tongue. Your clothes smell as sweet as perfume.
12. My darling, my bride, you are pure like a locked garden. You are like a locked pool, a closed fountain.
13. Your limbs are like a garden filled with pomegranates and other pleasant fruit, with all the best spices: henna,
14. nard, saffron, calamus, and cinnamon. Your limbs are like a garden filled with trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloe.
15. You are like a garden fountain— a well of fresh water— flowing down from the mountains of Lebanon.
16. Wake up, north wind. Come, south wind. Blow on my garden. Spread its sweet smell. Let my lover enter his garden and eat its pleasant fruit.
