    come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
    from the top of Senir,(B) the summit of Hermon,(C)
from the lions’ dens
    and the mountain haunts of leopards.

    you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
    with one jewel of your necklace.(E)
10 How delightful(F) is your love(G), my sister, my bride!
    How much more pleasing is your love than wine,(H)
and the fragrance of your perfume(I)

    you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(N)
