You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.

They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.

they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.

She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”

A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.
