The Maidens to The Beloved:
5:9 Why is your beloved better than others, 1
O most beautiful of women?
Why is your beloved better than others,
that you would command us in this manner?
The Beloved to the Maidens:
5:10 My beloved 2 is dazzling 3 and ruddy; 4
he stands out 5 in comparison to 6 all other men. 7
5:16 His mouth is very sweet; 8
he is totally desirable. 9
This is my beloved!
This is my companion, O maidens of Jerusalem!
