14 His arms are rods of gold,
    set with (A)jewels.
His body is polished ivory,[a]
    bedecked with (B)sapphires.[b]
15 His legs are alabaster columns,
    set on bases of gold.
His appearance is like (C)Lebanon,
    choice as the cedars.
16 His (D)mouth[c] is most sweet,
    and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
    O (E)daughters of Jerusalem.
