I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree,
I will take hold of the branches thereof:
Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine,
And the smell of thy [a]breath like apples,
And thy [b]mouth like the best wine,
That goeth down [c]smoothly for my beloved,
[d]Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.

10 I am my beloved’s;
And his desire is toward me.
