8
'I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, what will ye tell him? that I am love-sick.'
9
'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 adjure us?'
10
'My beloved is white and ruddy, pre-eminent above ten thousand.
11
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are curled, and black as a raven.
12
His eyes are like doves beside the water-brooks; washed with milk, and fitly set.
13
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as banks of sweet herbs; his lips are as lilies, dropping with flowing myrrh.
14
His hands are as rods of gold set with beryl; his body is as polished ivory overlaid with sapphires.
15
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold; his aspect is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16
His mouth is most sweet; yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.'
