Context of Song of Songs 7:6

4Your neck is like a tower of ivory, your eyes like pools in Heshbon by Bath-rabbim’s gate. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus. 5Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, the hair of your head like purple cloth — a king could be held captive in your tresses. How beautiful you are and how pleasant, my love, with such delights! 7Your stature is like a palm tree; your breasts are clusters of fruit. 8I said, “I will climb the palm tree and take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like clusters of grapes, and the fragrance of your breath like apricots.
