8 Promise me, women of Jerusalem,that if you find my lover,you will tell him I am weak from passion.
9 Most beautiful of women,is your lover different from everyone else?What is there so wonderful about himthat we should give you our promise?
10 My lover is handsome and strong;he is one in 10,000.
11 His face is bronzed and smooth;his hair is wavy,black as a raven.
12 His eyes are as beautiful as doves by a flowing brook,doves washed in milk and standing by the stream.
13 His cheeks are as lovely as a gardenthat is full of herbs and spices.His lips are like lilies,wet with liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are well formed,and he wears rings set with gems.His body is like smooth ivory,with sapphires set in it.
