Thy neck [is] as a tower of ivory; thine eyes [like] the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose [is] as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.	Thine head upon thee [is] like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king [is] held in the galleries.	How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
