as Cypress, Nardus, Saffron, Calamus, and all the trees of Lebanon: Myrrh, Aloes, and all the best spices.

the ceilings of our house are of Cedar tree, and our balks of Cypress.

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. In his shadow was my desire to sit, for his fruit was sweet to my mouth.

His legs are as the pillars of Marble, set upon sockets of gold; His face is as Lebanon, and as the beauty of the Cedar trees.

I am the same that waked thee up among the apple trees, where thy mother bare thee, where thy mother brought thee in to the world.
