The Lover to His Beloved:
4:12 You are a locked garden, 1 my sister, my bride;
you are an enclosed spring, a sealed-up fountain.
4:13 Your shoots are a royal garden 2 full of pomegranates
with choice fruits:
henna with nard,
4:14 nard and saffron;
calamus and cinnamon with every kind of spice,
myrrh and aloes with all the finest spices. 3
4:15 You are a garden spring, 4
a well 5 of fresh water 6 flowing down from Lebanon.
