¹⁶ Awaken,^(A) north wind;
come, south wind.
Blow on my garden,
and spread the fragrance of its spices.
Let my love come to his garden
and eat its choicest fruits.^(B)

5 I have come to my garden—my sister, my bride.
I gather^[a] my myrrh with my spices.
I eat my honeycomb with my honey.
I drink my wine with my milk.

Eat, friends!
Drink, be intoxicated with caresses!^[b](A)
