CHAP. II.
3 The Church desireth to rest vnder the shadowe of Christ. 8
She heareth his voyce. 14 She is compared to the doue, 15
And the enemies to the foxes.
1 I am the rose of the fielde, and the lilie of the
valleys.
2 Like a lilie am&obar;g the thornes, so is my note loue
among the daughters.
3 noteLike the apple tree among the trees of the
forest, so is my welbeloued among the sonnes of
men: vnder his shadow had I delite, & sate downe:
and his fruite was sweete vnto my mouth.
4 Hee brought mee into the wine cellar, and
loue was his banner ouer me.
5 Stay me with flagons, and comfort me with
apples: for I am sicke of loue.
6 His left hande is vnder mine head, and his
right hand doeth imbrace me.
7 noteI charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem,
by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye
stirre not vp, nor waken my loue, vntill she please.
8 noteIt is the voyce of my welbeloued: beholde,
hee commeth leaping by the mountaines,
and skipping by the hilles.
9 My welbeloued is like a roe, or a yong hart:
loe, he note standeth behinde our wall, looking forth
of the windowes, shewing him selfe through the
note grates.
10 My welbeloued spake and said vnto me, Arise,
my loue, my faire one, and come thy way.
11 For beholde, note winter is past: the raine is
changed, and is gone away.
12 The flowers appeare in the earth: the time
of the singing of birdes is come, and the voyce of
the turtle is heard in our land.
13 The figtree hath brought foorth her yong
figges: and the vines with their small grapes haue
cast a sauour: arise my loue, my faire one, and
come away.
14 My doue, that art in the note holes of þe; rocke,
in the secret places of the staires, shewe mee thy
sight, let mee heare thy voyce: for thy voyce is
sweete, and thy sight comely.
15 Take vs the foxes, the note little foxes, which
destroy the vines: for our vines haue small grapes.
16 My welbeloued is mine, and I am his: hee
feedeth among the lilies,
17 Vntil the day breake, and the shadowes flee
away: returne, my welbeloued, and be like a note roe,
or a yong hart vpon the mountaines of Bether.

The Church desireth to be ioyned to Christ.
