Song of Solomon 4:3-5
Wycliffe Bible
3 Thy lips be as a red lace, and thy speech is sweet; as the remnant of an apple of Punic, so be thy cheeks, without that, that is hid within. (Thy lips be like a red lace, and thy voice is sweet; thy cheeks be like a piece of an apple of Punic/thy cheeks be like a piece of a pomegranate, behind thy veil.)
4 Thy neck is as the tower of David, which is builded with strongholds made before for defence; a thousand shields hang on it, all [the] armour of strong men. (Thy neck is like the tower of David, which is built with strongholds, or with bulwarks, made ahead of time for defence; a thousand shields hang on it, all the armour of the strong.)
5 Thy two teats be as two kids, twins of a capret, that be fed among (the) lilies, (Thy two breasts be like two kids, or like two fawns, yea, like the twins of a gazelle, that be fed among the lilies.)

your mouth(A) is lovely.(B)
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.(C)
4 Your neck is like the tower(D) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(E)
all of them shields of warriors.

that browse among the lilies.(H)
