8I want you to swear, daughters of Jerusalem, that if you find my beloved— What will you make known to him?— that I am sick from love.
9How is your beloved better than another beloved man, most beautiful among women? Why is your beloved better than another beloved, that you ask us to take an oath like this?
10My beloved is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
11His head is the purest gold; his hair is curly and as black as a raven.
