The III. Chapter.
A By night in my bedd, I sought him,
whom my soule loueth: yee diligently
sought I him, but I founde him
not. I wil get vp (thought I) and go aboute
the cite: vpon the market and in all þe; stretes
will I seke him whom my soule loueth,
but whan I sought him, I founde him not.
The watchmen that go aboute þe; cite, founde
me. Sawe ye not him, whom my soule loueth?
-- --
So whan I was a litle past them, I fo&ubar;de
him whom my soule loueth. I haue gotten
holde vpon him, and wyl not let him go,
vntill I brynge him into my mothers house,
and in to hir chambre that bare me.
noteI charge you (o ye doughters of Ierusal&ebar;)
by the Roes and hyndes of the felde, that ye
wake not vp my loue ner touch her, till she be
content herself.
B Who is this, that commeth out of þe; wyldernesse
like pilers of smoke, as it were a smell
of Myrre, frankencense and all maner spyces
of the Apotecary?
Beholde, aboute Salom&obar;s bedsteade there
stonde LX. valeauut men of the mightie in
Israel. They holde swerdes euery one, ∧ are
experte in warre. Euery man hath his swerde
vp&obar; his thee, because of feare in the night.
Kynge Salomon hath made himself a
bedsteade of the wodd of Libanus, the pilers
are of syluer, the coueringe of golde, þe; seate
of purple, þe; grounde pleasauntly paued for
the doughters of Ierusalem.
Go forth (o ye doughters of Sion) and beholde
kynge Salomon in the crowne, wherwith
his mother crowned him in the daye
of his mariage, and in the daye of the gladnesse
of his hert.
