Song of Solomon 4:2-4

Revised Standard Version

² Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
    that have come up from the washing,
all of which bear twins,
    and not one among them is bereaved.
³ Your lips are like a scarlet thread,
    and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
    behind your veil.
⁴ Your neck is like the tower of David,
    built for an arsenal,^[a]
whereon hang a thousand bucklers,
    all of them shields of warriors.
