“How beautiful and how pleasant you are, love, for delights!”
“How beautiful you are! How lovely, O love, with your delights!”
“How beautiful art thou, and how comely, my dearest, in delights!”
“How beautiful and how sweet you are, O love, for delight.”

Your navel is a round bowl, never lacking in curvature. Your abdomen is like a bundle of wheat, surrounded with lilies.
Your two breasts are like two young twin does.
Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes like the fish ponds at Heshbon, which are at the entrance to the daughter of the multitude. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, which looks out toward Damascus.
Your head is like Carmel, and the hairs of your head are like the purple of the king, bound into pleats.
Most beloved one, how beautiful you are, and how graceful in delights!
Your stature is comparable to the palm tree, and your breasts to clusters of grapes.
Groom: I said, I will ascend to the palm tree, and take hold of its fruit. And your breasts will be like clusters of grapes on the vine. And the fragrance of your mouth will be like apples.
