Turn away your eyes from me,
    for they overwhelm me!
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
    moving down the slopes of Gilead.
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes,
    that have come up from the washing;
all of them bear twins,
    and not one among them is bereaved.
Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
    behind your veil.

Turn your eyes from me;

    not one of them is missing.(B)
Your temples behind your veil(C)
    are like the halves of a pomegranate.(D)

As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.
