"How beautiful you are, my darling", exclaims the king. "Your eyes behind the veil are like doves... your hair is like a flock of goats... your teeth are like a flock of sheep... your lips are like a scarlet ribbon... your neck is like the tower of David... your breasts are like two fawns... you are totally beautiful without a flaw... come with me my bride because you have stolen my heart... how delightful is your love my bride and much more pleasing than wine... your lips are as sweet as honey my bride and milk and honey are under your tongue.. you are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water." To this the Shunammite called upon the wind to come and spread the fragrance of her love saying "Let my lover come into his garden and taste its choice fruits."
