The Lover to His Beloved: Like a lily among the thorns, so is my darling among the maidens.

The fragrance of your colognes is delightful; your name is like the finest perfume. No wonder the young women adore you!

The Beloved about Her Lover: Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
