“Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:15 Behold - This is the speech of Christ. The words are doubled to manifest his fervent affection for her. Doves eyes - Which are mild and harmless, chaste and faithful. And by the eyes he seems to design both her outward behaviour, and the inward disposition of her mind.
Behold, thou art faire, my loue: behold, thou art faire, thou hast doues eyes.
