8I will go up, say I to myself, upon the palm-tree; I will take hold of its boughs, And thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples,
9And thy mouth like the best wine— M. — that goeth down smoothly for my beloved, Flowing over the lips of them that sleep.
10I am my beloved's, And his desire is toward me.
11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the country; Let us lodge in the villages!
12Then will we go early to the vineyards, To see whether the vine putteth forth, Whether its blossom openeth, And the pomegranates bud forth; There will I give thee my love!
