7. The watchmen who go about the city found me.They beat me.They bruised me.The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
8. I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,If you find my beloved,that you tell him that I am faint with love.
9. How is your beloved better than another beloved,you fairest amongst women?How is your beloved better than another beloved,that you do so adjure us?
10. My beloved is white and ruddy.The best amongst ten thousand.
11. His head is like the purest gold.His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks,washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
13. His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes.His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14. His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl.His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
15. His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold.His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16. His mouth is sweetness;yes, he is altogether lovely.This is my beloved, and this is my friend,daughters of Jerusalem.
