Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep
coming up from washing,
each one bearing twins,
and none has lost its young.[a](A)
Your lips are like a scarlet cord,(B)
and your mouth[b] is lovely.

Your neck is like the tower of David,(D)
constructed in layers.
A thousand shields are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.
