Song of Songs 5:8-16

8Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you, if you find my love, tell him that I am lovesick.

9What makes the one you love better than another, most beautiful of women? What makes him better than another, that you would give us this charge?

10My love is fit and strong, notable among ten thousand.

11His head is purest gold. His hair is wavy and black as a raven.

12His eyes are like doves beside flowing streams, washed in milk and set like jewels.

13His cheeks are like beds of spice, mounds of perfume. His lips are lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh.

14His arms are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is an ivory panel covered with lapis lazuli.

15His legs are alabaster pillars set on pedestals of pure gold. His presence is like Lebanon, as majestic as the cedars.

16His mouth is sweetness. He is absolutely desirable. This is my love, and this is my friend, young women of Jerusalem.
