CHAP. VII.

1 A further description of the Church her graces. 10 The Church professeth her faith and desire.

¹Howe beautifull are thy feete with shooes, O princes daughter! the ioynts of thy thighs are like iewels, the worke of the hands of a cunning workman.

²Thy nauell is like a round goblet, which wanteth not licour: thy belly is like an heape of wheate, set about with lillies.²

³Thy two breasts are like two yong Roes that are twinnes.³

⁴Thy necke is as a towre of yuory: thine eyes like the fish pooles in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the towre of Lebanon, which looketh toward Damascus.

⁵Thine head vpon thee is like Carmel, and the haire of thine head like purple, the king is held in the galleries.⁵

⁶How faire, and how pleasant art thou, O Loue, for delights!

⁷This thy stature is like to a palme tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

⁸I said, I will goe vp to the palme tree, I will take hold of the boughes thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose, like apples.

⁹And the roofe of thy mouth like the best wine, for my beloued, that goeth downe sweetely, causing the lippes of those that are asleepe, to speake.⁹

¹⁰¶ I am my beloueds, and his desire is towards me.¹⁰

¹¹Come, my beloued, let vs goe forth into the field: let vs lodge in the villages.

¹²Let vs get vp earely to the vineyards, let vs see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appeare, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I giue thee my loues.¹²

¹³The mandrakes giue a smell, and at our gates are all maner of pleasant fruits, new and olde, which I haue laid vp for thee, O my beloued.¹³
