Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep
coming up from washing,
each one bearing twins,
and none has lost its young.[a](A)
Your lips are like a scarlet cord,(B)
and your mouth[b] is lovely.
Behind your veil,
your brow[c] is like a slice of pomegranate.(C)
Your neck is like the tower of David,(D)
constructed in layers.
A thousand shields are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.
