    I say, “I will climb the palm tree;
        I will take hold of its fruit.”
    May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,
        the fragrance of your mouth[a] like fresh apples,
        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]
10     I belong to my love,
        and he has desire for me.
