10 My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.(E)

his hair is wavy
and black as a raven.

by the water streams,
washed in milk,(G)
mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks(H) are like beds of spice(I)
yielding perfume.
His lips are like lilies(J)
dripping with myrrh.(K)
14 His arms are rods of gold
set with topaz.
His body is like polished ivory
decorated with lapis lazuli.(L)
15 His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,(M)
choice as its cedars.
16 His mouth(N) is sweetness itself;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved,(O) this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem.(P)
