and she (A)has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister

9 If she is a wall,
we will build on her a battlement of silver,
but if she is a door,
we will enclose her with (B)boards of cedar.
She
10 (C)I was a wall,
and my (D)breasts were like towers;
then I was in his eyes
as one who finds[a] peace.
11 Solomon had (E)a vineyard at Baal-hamon;
he (F)let out the vineyard to (G)keepers;
each one was to bring for its fruit (H)a thousand pieces of silver.
12 My vineyard, my very own, is before me;
you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,
and (I)the keepers of the fruit two hundred.
He
13 (J)O you who dwell in the gardens,
with (K)companions listening for your voice;
(L)let me hear it.
She
14 (M)Make haste, my beloved,
and be (N)like a gazelle
or a young stag
on (O)the mountains of spices.
