His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. Context Admiration by the Bride
10My beloved is white and ruddy, the most chief among ten thousand. 11His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. 12His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. 13His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. 14His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. 15His legs are as pillars of marble, set on sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. 16His mouth is most sweet: yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. Parallel Verses American Standard Version
