2Thy waist is a basin of roundness, It lacketh not the mixture, Thy body a heap of wheat, fenced with lilies,Select Song of Songs 7:2

3Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,Select Song of Songs 7:3

4Thy neck as a tower of the ivory, Thine eyes pools in Heshbon, near the gate of Bath-Rabbim, Thy face as a tower of Lebanon looking to Damascus,Select Song of Songs 7:4

5Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as purple, The king is bound with the flowings!Select Song of Songs 7:5
