Canticles 5:10-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

10. My beloved is white and ruddy, chosen out of thousands.

11. His head is as the finest gold: his locks as branches of palm trees, black as a raven.

12. His eyes as doves upon brooks of waters, which are washed with milk, and sit beside the plentiful streams.

13. His cheeks are as beds of aromatical spices set by the perfumers. His lips are as lilies dropping choice myrrb.

14. His hands are turned and as of gold, full of hyacinths. His belly as of ivory, set with sapphires.
