9. How is your beloved better than others,most beautiful of women?How is your beloved better than others,that you so charge us?
10. My beloved is radiant and ruddy,outstanding among ten thousand.
11. His head is purest gold;his hair is wavyand black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like dovesby the water streams,washed in milk,mounted like jewels.
13. His cheeks are like beds of spiceyielding perfume.His lips are like liliesdripping with myrrh.
14. His arms are rods of goldset with topaz.His body is like polished ivorydecorated with lapis lazuli.
15. His legs are pillars of marbleset on bases of pure gold.His appearance is like Lebanon,choice as its cedars.
16. His mouth is sweetness itself;he is altogether lovely.This is my beloved, this is my friend,daughters of Jerusalem.
