8. I want to climb the palm tree,and take hold of its fruit stalks.May your breasts be like the clusters of grapes,and may the fragrance of your breath be like apricots!
9. May your mouth be like the best wine,flowing smoothly for my beloved,gliding gently over our lips as we sleep together.
10. I am my beloved’s,and he desires me!
11. Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside;let us spend the night in the villages.
12. Let us rise early to go to the vineyards,to see if the vines have budded,to see if their blossoms have opened,if the pomegranates are in bloom – there I will give you my love.
13. The mandrakes send out their fragrance;over our door is every delicacy,both new and old, which I have stored up for you, my lover.
