Context of Song of Songs 7:6

4Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes shine like the pools in Heshbon that are near the Bath Rabbim gate. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon that looks towards Damascus. 5Your head stands tall on you, like Mount Carmel. Your long hair hangs down like a royal cloth. It is so beautiful that it can make the king its prisoner! You are very beautiful, my dear friend, and I love you. You give a lot of pleasure to me. 7You stand like a tall palm tree. Your breasts are like bunches of fruit that hang from the tree. 8I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit.’ For me, your breasts are like bunches of grapes. Your breath is like the sweet smell of apples.
