⁹ You have captivated my heart, my ^(A)sister, my bride;
    you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,
    with one ^(B)jewel of your necklace.
¹⁰ How beautiful is your love, my ^(C)sister, my bride!
    How much ^(D)better is your love than wine,
    and ^(E)the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

¹² A garden locked is my ^(A)sister, my bride,
    a spring locked, ^(B)a fountain ^(C)sealed.
