ASV(i)
9 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 adjure us?
10 My beloved is white and ruddy,
The chiefest among ten thousand. 11 His head is [as] the most fine gold;
His locks are bushy, [and] black as a raven. 12 His eyes are like doves beside the water-brooks,
Washed with milk, [and] fitly set. 13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices,
[As] banks of sweet herbs:
His lips are [as] lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. 14 His hands are [as] rings of gold set with beryl:
His body is [as] ivory work overlaid [with] sapphires. 15 His legs are [as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold:
His aspect is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. 16 His mouth is most sweet;
Yea, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.
