His hands and feet are soft and tender. His hands and feet are net-like. His body is perfectly formed. The down on his body grows in single hairs, one to each pore. The down on his body grows straight upwards. He has a smooth skin. He has a [ ? ] skin. He has the gait of a swan. There is no hollow between his shoulder blades. His body has the seven convex surfaces. (85)
