# My beloved is to me like a bag of myrrh ... breasts

"I enjoy my beloved as much as I enjoy having a bag of myrrh ... breasts". Women would place a small bag or pouch of myrrh on a necklace so it would lie between their breasts and they could enjoy its pleasant fragrance. She adds "to me" to show that she does not expect anyone else to enjoy her beloved in this way.

# My beloved

"My dear one" or "My lover"

# lying between my breasts

"close to me"
