        My bride, my sister, you have charmed me.[a]
        You have charmed me
            with a single glance from your eyes,
            with a single strand of your necklace.
10 How beautiful are your expressions of love, my bride, my sister!
    How much better are your expressions of love than wine
    and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice.
11 Your lips drip honey, my bride.
    Honey and milk are under your tongue.
        The fragrance of your clothing is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
