7 This, your stature, is like a palm tree, Your breasts like its fruit.
Your two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe, Which feed among the lilies.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Your two breasts are like two fawns, That are twins of a roe.

She has a princely disposition, something in her truly noble and generous; she is daughter and heir to the prince of the kings of the earth. If children, then heirs. Now here we have,
Sgs 7:10-13
