“ Beloved 006:002 My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. 006:003 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine. He browses among the lilies, 006:004 You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners. 006:005 Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats, that lie along the side of Gilead. 006:006 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing; of which every one has twins; none is bereaved among them. ”

“ Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skillful workman. 007:002 Your body is like a round goblet, no mixed wine is wanting. Your waist is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies. 007:003 Your two breasts are like two fawns, that are twins of a roe. 007:004 Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus. ”

“ Friends 005:009 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us? Beloved 005:010 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand. 005:011 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven. 005:012 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels. 005:013 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. ”
