³ “Like an ^(A)apple tree among the trees of the forest,
So is my beloved among the ^[a]young men.
In his shade I took great delight and sat down,
And his ^(B)fruit was sweet to my ^[b]taste.

¹⁶ “Awake, north wind,
And come, wind of the south;
^[a]Make my ^(A)garden breathe out fragrance,
May its balsam oils flow.
May ^(B)my beloved come into his garden
And eat its ^(C)delicious fruits!”

¹³ The ^(A)mandrakes have given forth fragrance;
And over our doors are all ^(B)delicious fruits,
New as well as old,
Which I have saved for you, my beloved.
