Song of Solomon 5:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹²His eyes are like doves
    beside springs of water,
bathed in milk,
    fitly set.^[a]
¹³His cheeks are like beds of spices,
    yielding fragrance.
His lips are lilies,
    distilling liquid myrrh.
¹⁴His arms are rounded gold,
    set with jewels.
His body is ivory work,^[b]
    encrusted with sapphires.^[c]
