    Your stature is as elegant as a date palm tree,
        and your breasts are sweet, attractive, and round like clusters of its fruit.
    I say, “I will climb the palm tree;
        I will take hold of its fruit.”
    May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,

        and may your kisses satisfy like the best wine.

Her: May the wine go down smoothly for my love,
        flowing gently over his lips and teeth.[b]
