Your lips are like a red silk thread.
    Your mouth is beautiful.
Your cheeks under your veil
    are like two slices of pomegranate.
Your neck is long and thin
    like David’s tower.
That tower was built to be decorated[a]
    with a thousand shields on its walls,
    with the shields of powerful soldiers.
Your breasts are like twin fawns,
    like twins of a gazelle,
    feeding among the lilies.
