| Song of Solomon 5 |
| What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? |
| My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. |
| His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. |
| His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. |
| His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. |
| His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. |
| His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. |
| His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. |
