And the odour of thy breath

As that of apples;

9 And thy speech as delicious wine, [[182]]

Which to my friend flows down with mellowed sweetness,

And causes slumbering lips to speak.

THE SHULAMITE.

10 I belong to my beloved,

And it is for me to desire him.

11 Come, my beloved, let us go into the country, [[183]]

Let us abide in the villages.
