The Daughters of Jerusalem
More than another beloved,
aO fairest among women?
What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
That you so1 charge us?
The Shulamite
Banks of scented herbs.
His lips are lilies,
Dripping liquid myrrh.
Set on bases of fine gold.
His countenance is like Lebanon,
Excellent as the cedars.
Yes, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved,
And this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem!

Song of Solomon 5:10
My beloved is white and ruddy - Red and white, properly mixed, are essential to a fine complexion; and this is what is intimated: he has the finest complexion among ten thousand persons; not one in that number is equal to him. Literally, "He bears the standard among ten thousand men;" or "He is one before whom a standard is borne," i.e., he is captain or chief of the whole.
