5 I have entered my garden, my sister, my bride.
    I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey.
    I have drunk my wine and my milk.

Eat, friends, and drink;
    yes, drink deeply, lovers.

² My lover has gone down to his garden,
    to the beds of spices,
to feed in the gardens
    and to gather lilies.

¹¹ I went down into the orchard of nut trees
    to see the blossoms of the valley,
to look for buds on the vines,
    to see if the pomegranate trees had bloomed.
