and produce twigs like a sapling.

Arise, my darling.

Come away, my beautiful one.

How delightful your caresses are, my sister, my bride.

Your caresses are much better than wine,

and the fragrance of your perfume than any balsam.

and take hold of its fruit.”

May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,

and the fragrance of your breath like apricots.

The mandrakes give off a fragrance,

and at our doors is every delicacy,

both new and old.

or gone into exile.

So his taste has remained the same,

and his aroma hasn’t changed.
