CAP. VII.
The vois of Crist to the Chirche, of the
synagoge. What shalt thou seen in Sunamyte,
but queres of tentes? The vois
of Crist to the Chirche.
1 Hou faire ben
thi goingus in shon, thou do&yogh;ter of the
prince; the ioyntures of thin hipes as
brooches, that ben forgid with the hond
of the craftisman.
2 Thi nauele a turned
cuppe, neuere nedende drinkes; thi
wombe as an hep of whete, set aboute
with lilies.
3 Thi two tetus as two &yogh;unge
capretis, iemews of the she capret.
4 Thi
necke as an yuerene tour; thin e&yogh;en as
the cysternis in Esebon, that ben in the
&yogh;ate of the do&yogh;ter of the multitude; thi
nose as the tour of Liban, that beholdith
a&yogh;en Damasch.
5 Thin hed as Carmel;
thin heres of thin hed as the purper of
the king, ioyned to water pipes.
6 Hou
fair thou art, and hou semeli, thou most
derwrthe in delices.
7 Thi stature is licned
to a palm, and thi tetes to clustris.
8 Crist of the holi cros seith. I seide, I
shal ste&yogh;en in to a palm tree, and I shal
take the frutis of it. The vois of Crist
to the Chirche. And thi tetes shul ben
as the clustris of a vyne; and the smel
-- --
of thi mouth as the smel of appelis,
9 and
thi throte as best wyn. The Chirche
seith of Crist. Wrthi to my leef to
drinken, to the lippes and to the teth of
hym to chewen.
10 `I to my leef, and to
me the turnyng of hym. The vois of
the Chirche to Crist.
11 Cum, my leef, go
wee out in to the feeld; dwelle wee togidere
in tounes.
12 Erli rise wee to the
vyne; see wee, if the vyne flourede, if
the floures frutes bringe forth, if the
poumgarnetes floureden; there I shal
&yogh;iue to thee my tetes.
13 The mandrages
&yogh;euen ther smel in oure &yogh;ates; alle
appelis, newe and olde, my leef, I kepte
to thee.
