In context
1Behold, thou art fair, my companion; Behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are doves, Beside thy veil: Thy hair is as flocks of goats, That have appeared from Gilead.
— Song of Solomon 4:2 —
3Thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely: Like the rind of a pomegranate Is thy cheek without thy veil.
4Thy neck is as the tower of David, That was built for an armory: A thousand shields hang upon it, And all darts of mighty men.
