In context

9What is thy kinsman more than another kinsman, O thou beautiful among women? What is thy kinsman more than another kinsman, That thou hast so charged us?

10My kinsman is white and ruddy, Chosen out from myriads.

— Song of Solomon 5:11 —

12His eyes are as doves, by the pools of waters, Washed with milk, Sitting by the pools.

13His cheeks are as bowls of spices pouring forth perfumes: His lips are lilies, dropping choice myrrh.
