⁸ "I said , 'I will climb the palm tree , I will take hold of its fruit stalks .' Oh , may your breasts be like clusters of the vine , And the fragrance of your breath like apples ,

⁸ I said, “I will climb up into the palm tree.
I will take hold of its fruit.”
Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
the smell of your breath like apples,

Beloved
