His hands as gold rings set with beryl Beautiful and precious, and richly adorned, as it were, with gold rings set with precious stones; his belly as bright ivory Which seems to be here used for the whole body, reaching from the neck to the bottom of the belly; overlaid with sapphires Of a pure and bright white colour, intermixed with blue veins; for some sapphires are of a bright blue colour.

And therefore you have no cause to wonder if I am transported with love to so excellent a personage.
