10. My lover is tanned and radiant. He would stand out among 10,000 men.
11. His head is like the purest gold. His hair is curly and as black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like doves by a stream, like doves in a pool of milk, like a jewel in its setting.
13. His cheeks are like a garden of spices, like flowers used for perfume. His lips are like lilies, dripping with liquid myrrh.
14. His arms are like gold rods, filled with jewels. His body is like smooth ivory with sapphires set in it.
15. His legs are like marble pillars on bases of fine gold. He stands tall like the finest cedar tree in Lebanon!
16. Yes, women of Jerusalem, my lover is everything I desire. His mouth is the sweetest of all. This is my lover; this is my darling.
