Verse 2The one who loves me has now come to me, who am like [MET, EUP] his garden,He has come to enjoy my ◄charms/physical attractions► which are like [MET, EUP] spices,to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET],and kissing my lips, which are like [MET] lilies.Verse 3I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me;he enjoys kissing my lipslike [MET] a shepherd enjoys taking care of his sheep.

Verse 4My darling, you are beautiful,like [SIM] Tirzah the capital city of Israel and Jerusalem the capital city of Judah are beautiful;you are as exciting [MET] as a group/battalion of troops holding up their banners.Verse 5Quit looking at me like that,because your eyes excite me very much.Your long black hair moves from side to side like [SIM] a flock of black goatsmoving down the slopes of Gilead Mountain.Verse 6Your teeth are very whitelike [SIM] a flock of sheep whose wool has just been shornand that have come up from being washed in a stream.
You have all of your teeth;none of them is missing.Verse 7Beneath your veil,your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.Verse 8Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 ◄concubines/slave wives►and more young women than anyone can count,Verse 9none of them would be like my dove, who is perfect,you who are your mother’s only daughter,
whom your mother considers to be very precious.Other young women who see you say that you are fortunate,and the queens and concubines recognize that you are very beautiful.
