1I Am the rose of Sharon, and the lillie of the valleys.
2As the lillie among thornes, so is my loue among the daughters.
3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloued among the sonnes. I sate downe vnder his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweete to my taste.3
4Hee brought me to the banketting house, and his banner ouer mee, was loue.4
5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sicke of loue.5
6His left hand is vnder my head, and his right hand doeth imbrace me.6
7I charge you, O ye daughters of Ierusalem, by the Roes, and by the hindes of the field, that ye stirre not vp, nor awake my loue, till she please.7
8¶ The voice of my beloued! behold! hee commeth leaping vpon the mountaines, skipping vpon the hils.
9My beloued is like a Roe, or a yong Hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh foorth at the windowe, shewing himselfe through the lattesse.9
10My beloued spake, and said vnto me, Rise vp, my Loue, my faire one, and come away.
11For loe, the winter is past, the raine is ouer, and gone.
15Take vs the foxes, the litle foxes, that spoile the vines: for our vines haue tender grapes.
16¶ My beloued is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lillies.16
17Untill the day breake, and the shadowes flee away: turne my beloued and be thou like a Roe, or a yong Hart, vpon the mountaines of Bether.17
