¹⁰ Your love delights me, my treasure, my bride. Your love is better than wine, your perfume more fragrant than spices.

¹⁰ How beautiful your love, dear, dear friend - far more pleasing than a fine, rare wine, your fragrance more exotic than select spices.

¹⁰ How wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes than all spices.
