12 His eyes are like doves(A)
beside streams of water,
washed in milk
and set like jewels.[a]
13 His cheeks(B) are like beds of spice,
towers of[b] perfume.
His lips are lilies,
dripping with flowing myrrh.(C)
14 His arms[c] are rods of gold
set[d] with topaz.[e](D)
His body[f] is an ivory panel
covered with sapphires.(E)
