Song of Songs 5:11-16

¹¹His head is best gold; his hairs be as the boughs of palm trees, and be black as a crow. (His face is smooth and bronzed; his hair is like the boughs of the palm trees, and it is as black as a crow.)

¹²His eyes be as culvers on the strands of waters, that be washed in milk, and sit beside the fullest rivers. (His eyes be like the doves by the streams of water, that be washed with milk, and sit beside the most full rivers.)

¹³His cheeks be as gardens of sweet smelling spices, set of ointment makers; his lips be (as) lilies, dropping down the best myrrh. (His cheeks be like the gardens of sweet smelling spices, ready to be mixed by perfume makers; his lips be like lilies, dripping with the best myrrh.)

¹⁴His hands be able to turn about, golden, and full of jacinths; his womb is of ivory, adorned with sapphires. (His hands be like gold rings or golden rods, and full of hyacinths; his belly is like ivory, adorned with sapphires.)

¹⁵His hips be pillars of marble, that be founded on foundaments of gold; his shapeliness is as the Lebanon, he is chosen as cedars. (His hips be like pillars of marble, that be set upon gold foundations; he is shapely like Lebanon or he is majestic, like the mountains of Lebanon, he is chosen, or favoured, like the cedars.)

¹⁶His throat is most sweet, and he is all desirable. Ye daughters of Jerusalem, such is my darling, and this is my friend. (His voice is very sweet, and he is truly desirable. Ye daughters of Jerusalem, such is my darling, yea, this is my friend.)
