and lay hold of its fruit.

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth.[b]

Song of Solomon 7:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Your stately form resembles a date palm,
and your breasts are like clustered fruit.
8 I say, “I will climb the palm tree;
I will hold its fruit!”
May your breasts be now
like grape clusters,
and the scent of your breath like apples!
9 Your palate is like excellent wine . . .
[Woman]
. . . flowing smoothly for my love,
gliding through the lips and teeth.[a]
