*
What is thy beloved more than another beloved ,
O thou fairest among women ?
what is thy beloved more than another beloved ,
that thou dost so charge us ?
*
My beloved is white and ruddy ,
the chiefest among ten thousand .
*
His head is as the most fine gold ,
his locks are bushy ,
and black as a raven .
*
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters ,
washed with milk ,
and fitly set mille #
th #.
*
His cheeks are as a bed of spices ,
as sweet flowers :
his lips like lilies ,
dropping sweet smelling myrrh .
*
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl :
his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires .
*
His legs are as pillars of marble ,
set upon sockets of fine gold :
his countenance is as Lebanon ,
excellent as the cedars .
*
His mouth is most sweet :
yea ,
he is altogether lovely .
This is my beloved ,
and this is my friend ,
O daughters of Jerusalem .
