CHAP. V.
1 Christ awaketh the church with his calling.
2 The church having a taste of Christ's love,
is sick with love. 9 A description of Christ
by his graces.
1 I have come into my garden, my sister,
my spouse: I have gathered my
myrrh, with my spice; I have eaten my
honey-comb with my honey; I have
drank my wine with my milk: eat, O
friends; drink, yes, note drink abundantly,
O beloved.
2 ¶2; I sleep, but my heart waketh: it
is the voice of my beloved that knocketh,
saying, Open to me, my sister, my
love, my dove, my undefiled: for my
head is filled with dew, and my locks
with the drops of the night.
3 I have put off my coat; how shall I
put it on? I have washed my feet; how
shall I defile them?
4 My beloved put in his hand by the
hole of the door, and my bowels were
moved note for him.
5 I rose up to open to my beloved: and
my hands dropped with myrrh, and my
fingers with note sweet-smelling myrrh, upon
the handles of the lock.
6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved
had withdrawn himself, and was
gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I
sought him, but I could not find him; I
called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 The watchmen that went about the
city found me, they smote me, they
wounded me; the keepers of the walls
took away my vail from me.
8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
if ye find my beloved, note that ye
tell him, that I am sick with love.
9 ¶2; What is thy beloved more than
another beloved, O thou fairest among
women? what is thy beloved more than
another beloved, that thou dost so charge
us?
10 My beloved is white and ruddy, note
the chief among ten thousand.
11 His head is as the most fine gold,
his locks are note bushy, and black as a raven.
12 noteHis eyes are as the eyes of doves
by the rivers of waters, washed with
milk, and note fitly set.
13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices,
as note sweet flowers: his lips like lilies,
dropping sweet-smelling myrrh.
14 His hands are as gold rings set with
the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory
overlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are as pillars of marble,
set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance
is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 noteHis mouth is most sweet: yes, he
is altogether lovely. This is my beloved,
and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
