1  I came to my ^pgarden, ^qmy sister, my bride,

I gathered my myrrh with my spice,

I ate my honeycomb with my ^rhoney,

I drank my wine with my milk.

Eat, friends, drink,

and be drunk with love!

16  His ^dmouth¹ is most sweet,

and he is altogether desirable.

This is my beloved and this is my friend,

O daughters of Jerusalem.
