| As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. – For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? |
| My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. – One pearl of great price. – The prince of the kings of the earth. – His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. – The head over all things. – He is the head of the body, the church. |
| His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers. – He could not be hid. – His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh – Never man spake like this man. – His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. – Make thy face to shine upon thy servant. – Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. |
