Song of Solomon 5:12 Context
10My beloued is white and ruddy, the chiefest among tenne thousand. 11His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and blacke as a Rauen. 12His eyes are as the eyes of doues by the riuers of water, washed with milk, and fitly set. 13His cheekes are as a bed of spices, as sweete flowers: his lippes like lillies, dropping sweete smelling myrrhe. 14His hands are as gold rings set with the Berill: His belly is as bright iuorie, ouerlayd with Saphires.
