The woman is and will remain unique to the man. He has enough in her. Her love is everything to him. It is she who fills his life and makes it good. She, who is the only daughter of her mother. Others have also noticed her inner beauty. Other women have praised her. When he looks at her, he sees her as a glorious light shining in the morning. This in turn overwhelms him again. When he thinks of her in this way, he can no longer stay in his nut orchard. His desire for her becomes too great.
9 Une seule est ma colombe, ma parfaite; Elle est l'unique de sa mère, La préférée de celle qui lui donna le jour. Les jeunes filles la voient, et la disent heureuse; Les reines et les concubines aussi, et elles la louent.
