Her seduction: She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said: I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. Come, lets drink our fill of love until morning; lets enjoy ourselves with love. The woman takes the initiative: took hold of him, kissed him. Her approach is physical and forward. Her words are seductive: perfumed bed, drinking of love, morning indulgence. The speech emphasizes pleasure and indulgence without restraint. Her words paint a picture of sensory gratification. The young man being seduced in this narrative is presented with exactly what a young mans desires crave.
