Since we're on the subject of marriage, lets have ourselves a look at Verse 4. Here the speaker invokes the word bride constantly. This must be literal? Well, I suppose it could be, except that directly before every "my bride" is a "my sister". Does this mean that his love interest is his sister? No, most likely not, as this is understood as a quirk of language and flirting. Similar to "My Love" in more familiar wording (to us). One would be forgiven for assuming that these two were actually married if one did not read the entirety of the poem...context context context, lol. This is forbidden love, he refers to her with titles of respect and dignity whilst meeting secretly, and later fleeing before sunrise. Something else that stands out is the speakers very intimate knowledge of his love interest. They've obviously done this before. This isn't a one-night stand. The speaker actually mentions "going to the mountain"...this guy seriously just pulled the "I'd climb a mountain for you baby" line. Classy, lol. One of my favorite lines comes at the end of Verse 4.
"Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits."
This is the point at which the narrative becomes hardcore erotica (just what do you think she's referring to as her garden, with the pleas to the winds to blow and "spread her fragrance", just what do you think he's going to be tasting?). Porn dialogue writers sit down and take notes...you're being schooled.
Shall we continue the class?
