The VI. Chapter.
A My loue is gone downe in to his garden,
vnto þe; swete smellinge beddes,
that he maye refresh himself in the
garden, and gather floures. My loue is myne,
and I am his, which fedeth amonge the
lilies.
Thou art pleasaunt (o my loue) euen as louelynesse
itself, thou art fayre as Ierusalem,
glorious as an armye of men with their b&abar;ners
(Turne awaye thine eyes fro me, for
they make me to proude) note Thy hayrie lockes
are like a flocke of goates vpon þe; mount of
Galaad. Thy teth are like a flock of shepe
þt; be clypped, which go out of the washinge
place: where euery one beareth two twyns, ∧
not one vnfrutefull am&obar;ge them. Thy chekes
are like a pece of a pomgranate, besydes þt;
which lyeth hid within. There are thre score
quenes, note foure score concubynes, and yonge
wem&ebar; without nombre. But one is my doue,
my derlynge.
B She is the onely beloued of hir
mother, ∧ deare vnto her that bare her. Wh&abar;
the daughters sawe her, they sayde she was
blessed: Yee the quenes and concubines praysed
her. What is she this, that pepeth out
as the mornynge? fayre as the Moone, excellent
as the Sonne, glorious as an armye of
men with their banners?
I wente downe in to the nutt garden, to
se what grew by the brokes, to loke yf the
vynyarde florished, and yf the pomgranates
were shot forth. Then the charettes of the
prynce of my people made me sodenly afrayed.
Turne againe, turne againe (O thou Sulamite)
turne agayne, turne agayne, that we
maye loke vpon the.
