11His head is pure gold—fine gold, His locks flowing, dark as a raven, 12His eyes as doves by streams of water, Washing in milk, sitting in fulness. 13His cheeks as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, His lips are lilies, dropping flowing myrrh, 14His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, His heart bright ivory, covered with sapphires, 15His limbs pillars of marble, Founded on sockets of fine gold, His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

set on bases of gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
choice as the cedars.
