• 2. Your teeth look like a flock of freshly brushed sheep rising from the wash. All with their partner; none of them without their companion.
• 3. His lips are like a scarlet thread; your mouth is charming. Her cheeks, behind her veil, are like parts of a pomegranate.

• 14. nard and saffron, reed and cinnamon, with all sorts of frankincense trees, myrrh and aloes, and all the chief spices.
• 15. You are a fountain of gardens, a well of living water, streams flowing from Lebanon.
• 16. Awaken, north wind! Come, south wind! Blow on my garden, so that its fragrance spreads. May my beloved enter your garden and taste its delicious fruits.
