The Shulamite

10 My beloved is white and ruddy,
¹Chief among ten thousand.

11 His head is like the finest gold;
His locks are wavy,
And black as a raven.

12 ^aHis eyes are like doves
By the rivers of waters,
Washed with milk,
And¹ fitly set.

13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices,
Banks of scented herbs.
His lips are lilies,
Dripping liquid myrrh.

14 His hands are rods of gold
Set with beryl.
His body is carved ivory
Inlaid with sapphires.
