9 How is your lover different from other lovers, O most beautiful among women? How is your lover different from other lovers that you charge us so?
10 My lover is dazzling and ruddy, standing out among ten thousand.
11 His head is purest gold, his hair is wavy, black as a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves beside streams of water, washed with milk, mounted in their settings.
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spice, towers of sweet-scented perfume. His lips are lilies, dripping with liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are rods of gold set with jasper. His abdomen is carved ivory inlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are pillars of alabaster set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon— excellent like the cedars.
