⁸ We have a little sister
    too young to have breasts.
What will we do for our sister
    if someone asks to marry her?
⁹ If she is a virgin, like a wall,
    we will protect her with a silver tower.
But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door,
    we will block her door with a cedar bar.

¹⁰ I was a virgin, like a wall;
    now my breasts are like towers.
When my lover looks at me,
    he is delighted with what he sees.
