The love of a lover

How beautiful you are, my lover! Oh how beautiful! I rejoice and delight, my lover; I celebrate your love more than wine and gold of great wealth. I liken you, my lover, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of powerful men of this earth. Your cheeks are beautiful with ear-rings, your neck with strings of jewels, your eyes are doves. I'll make you ear-rings of gold, studded with silver. Let her kiss me with the kisses of her mouth-for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder you are loved! Take me away with you- let us hurry. Let my lover come into my chambers. Our bed is verdant. The beams of our house are careers; Our rafters are firs. How charming!
