7 Que tu es belle, que tu es agréable, O mon amour, au milieu des délices!

8 Ta taille ressemble au palmier, Et tes seins à des grappes.

9 Je me dis: Je monterai sur le palmier, J’en saisirai les rameaux! Que tes seins soient comme les grappes de la vigne, Le parfum de ton souffle comme celui des pommes,

10 Et ta bouche comme un vin excellent,… Qui coule aisément pour mon bien-aimé, Et glisse sur les lèvres de ceux qui s’endorment!

11 Je suis à mon bien-aimé, Et ses désirs se portent vers moi.
