⁷ Many waters cannot quench love,
    nor can rivers drown it.
If a man tried to buy love
    with all his wealth,
    his offer would be utterly scorned.

⁴ He escorts me to the banquet hall;
    it’s obvious how much he loves me.
⁵ Strengthen me with raisin cakes,
    refresh me with apples,
    for I am weak with love.

⁶ Oh, how beautiful you are!
    How pleasing, my love, how full of delights!
