Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep
coming up from washing,
each one having a twin,
and not one missing.[a](A)
Your lips are like a scarlet cord,(B)
and your mouth[b] is lovely.
Behind your veil,
your brow[c] is like a slice of pomegranate.(C)
Your neck is like the tower of David,(D)
constructed in layers.
A thousand bucklers are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.[d]
