Context
5:10 The Beloved to the Maidens: My beloved is dazzling and ruddy ; he stands out in comparison to all other men.
5:11 His head is like the most pure gold . His hair is curly – black like a raven .
5:12 His eyes are like doves by streams of water , washed in milk , mounted like jewels .
5:13 His cheeks are like garden beds full of balsam trees yielding perfume . His lips are like lilies dripping with drops of myrrh .
5:14 His arms are like rods of gold set with chrysolite . His abdomen is like polished ivory inlaid with sapphires .
5:15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold . His appearance is like Lebanon , choice as its cedars .
5:16 His mouth is very sweet ; he is totally desirable . This is my beloved ! This is my companion , O maidens of Jerusalem !
