CHAP. V.
1 Christ calleth his Church to the participation of all his treasures.
2 She heareth his voyce. 3 She confe&esset;eth her nakednes.
10 She praiseth Christ her husband.
1 I am come into my note garden, my sister, my spouse:
I gathered my myrrhe with my spice: I ate mine
hony combe with mine hony, I dranke my wine
with my milke: eate, O friends, drinke, and make
you mery, O welbeloued.
2 noteI sleepe, but mine heart waketh, it is the
voyce of my welbeloued that knocketh, saying,
Open vnto mee, my sister, my loue, my doue, my
vndefiled: for mine head is full of dewe, and my
lockes with the droppes of the note night.
3 I haue put off my note coate, howe shall I put
it on? I haue washed my feete, howe shall I defile
them?
4 My welbeloued put in his hand by the hole
of the doore, and note mine heart was affectioned toward
him.
5 I rose vp to open to my welbeloued, and
mine hands did drop downe myrrhe, and my note fingers
pure myrrhe vpon the handels of the barre.
6 I opened to my welbeloued: but my welbeloued
was gone, and past: mine heart was gone
when hee did speake: I sought him, but I coulde
not finde him: I called him, but hee answered
mee not.
7 The note watchmen that went about the citie,
founde me: they smote me and wounded me:
the watchmen of the walles tooke away my vaile
from me.
8 I charge you, note O daughters of Ierusalem, if
you finde my welbeloued, that you tell him that I
am sicke of loue.
9 noteO the fairest among women, what is thy
welbeloued more then other welbeloued? what is
thy welbeloued more then another louer, that
thou doest so charge vs?
10 My welbeloued is white and ruddie, the
chiefest of ten thousand.
11 His note head is as fine golde, his lockes curled,
and blacke as a rauen.
12 His eyes are like doues vpon the riuers of
waters, which are washt with milke, and remaine
by the full ve&esset;els.
13 His cheekes are as a bedde of spices, and as
-- --
The faith of the Church.
sweete flowres, and his lippes like lilies dropping
downe pure myrrhe.
14 His hands as rings of gold set with the note chrysolite,
his belly like white yuorie couered &wt; saphirs.
15 His legges are as pillars of marble, set vpon
sockets of fine golde: his countenance as Lebanon,
excellent as the cedars.
16 His mouth is as sweete thinges, and hee is
wholy delectable: this is my welbeloued, and this
is my louer, O daughters of Ierusalem.
17 noteO the fairest among women, whither is
thy welbeloued gone? whither is thy welbeloued
turned aside, that we may seeke him with thee?
