He has an eye that shoots at hearts, and a cheek
She has a glance that pierces hearts, and a cheek
where roses have bloomed on every side.
Where roses bloom on every side.

And his cheeks were edged with two straight lines of down,
Her face is graced by lines, drawn fair and straight,
as ruling leaves its mark on a scribe's parchment.
Like scribing on a supple parchment sheet.
