9. How is your beloved better than others,most beautiful of women?How is your beloved better than others,that you so charge us?
10. My beloved is radiant and ruddy,outstanding among ten thousand.
11. His head is purest gold;his hair is wavyand black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like dovesby the water streams,washed in milk,mounted like jewels.
13. His cheeks are like beds of spiceyielding perfume.His lips are like liliesdripping with myrrh.
