and your mouth like the best wine.

She

May the wine go straight to my beloved,(A)
    flowing gently over lips and teeth.[a]
10 I belong to my beloved,
    and his desire(B) is for me.(C)
11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside,
    let us spend the night in the villages.[b]
12 Let us go early to the vineyards(D)
    to see if the vines have budded,(E)
if their blossoms(F) have opened,
    and if the pomegranates(G) are in bloom(H)
    there I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes(I) send out their fragrance,
    and at our door is every delicacy,
both new and old,
    that I have stored up for you, my beloved.(J)
