My sister, my spouse!
aHow much better than wine is your love,
And the1 scent of your perfumes
Than all spices!
Drip as the honeycomb;
aHoney and milk are under your tongue;
And the fragrance of your garments
Is blike the fragrance of Lebanon.
Calamus and cinnamon,
With all trees of frankincense,
Myrrh and aloes,
With all the chief spices—
The Shulamite
And come, O south!
Blow upon my garden,
That its spices may flow out.
aLet my beloved come to his garden
And eat its pleasant bfruits.
