9 What [is] thy beloved above [any] beloved, O fair among  women? What [is] thy beloved above [any] beloved, That thus  thou hast adjured us?
         
                                
                        10 My beloved [is] clear and ruddy, Conspicuous above a  myriad!
         
                                
                        11 His head [is] pure gold -- fine gold, His locks flowing,  dark as a raven,
         
                                
                        12 His eyes as doves by streams of water, Washing in milk,  sitting in fulness.
         
                                
                        13 His cheeks as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, His  lips [are] lilies, dropping flowing myrrh,
         
                                
                        14 His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, His heart bright  ivory, covered with sapphires,
         
                                
                        15 His limbs pillars of marble, Founded on sockets of fine  gold, His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.
