How is you beloved, more beloved, most beautiful among women?
How is you beloved, more beloved, that you charge us so?
My beloved is bright and ruddy, marked among ten thousand;
His head as finest gold, his locks full, black as a raven;
His eyes as doves on streams of water, washed with milk, fitly set;
His cheeks a bed of spices, banks of scented herbs,
His lips lilies, dripping myrrh over;
His hands rods of gold, filled with jewels,
His body a plate of ivory overlaid with sapphires;
His legs are pillars of marble set upon bases of gold,
His form as Lebanon choice cedars;
His mouth most sweet and all of him lovely
V’culo m’hammadim (and altogether lovely);
this is my beloved and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
