His cheeks are like beds of spices, yielding fragrance, His lips are lilies, distilling liquid myrrh, His arms are rounded gold, set with jewels. His body is ivory work, encrusted with sapphires. His legs are alabaster columns, set upon bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon , choice as the cedars. His speech is most sweet , and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend O daughters of Jerusalem.
