The Desire for Love

The Beloved to Her Lover:

your name is like the finest perfume.

No wonder the young women adore you!

May the king bring me into his bedroom chambers!

We will rejoice and delight in you;

we will praise your love more than wine.

How rightly the young women adore you!

I have drunk my wine and my milk!

Eat, friends, and drink!

Drink freely, O lovers!
