Eyes like doves
Hair like a flock of goats
Teeth like a flock of fat, healthy, clean and newly shorn sheep
Lips like a scarlet thread
Temples like a slice of pomegranate
Neck like a tall tower
Here is a hint: a single glance from the object of his affection makes the author’s heart beat faster for his "sister . . [his] bride," and makes him think of pomegranates, choice fruits, henna with nard plants, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes.
Ah yes, calamus and cinnamon.

certainly this is from Song of Solomon! Though the description of beauty seems to have changed over the years. I'm not sure I'd be smiling if told my neck reminded Craig of a tower!
