² Like a lily among the thorns,^[a]
    so is my love among the maidens.
³ As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
    so is my beloved among the young men.
In his shade I sat down with delight,^[b]
    and his fruit was sweet to my palate.

⁴ He brought me to the house of the wine,
    and his intention was love toward me.
