Song II
He blossoms, he abounds; he is like the watered lettuce piled up in the shade of the garden; he is like the watered lettuce, my barley, overflowing with loveliness in the furrow;
He is like the watered lettuce,
My best apple tree which bears fruit;
He is like the watered lettuce
Honey man, honey man, you are so sweet to me.
My lord, honey man of the gods, beauty of his mother.
His hand is honey, his foot is honey;
You are so sweet to me.
His limbs are honey sweet; you are so sweet to me.
……………………….
My most graceful lettuce…..in the plain;
He is like the watered lettuce
