1
I Am the rose of Sharon,
and the lillie of the valleys.
2
As the lillie among
thornes, so is my loue among
the daughters.
3
As the apple tree among the trees
of the wood, so is my beloued among
the sonnes. noteI sate downe vnder his
shadow with great delight, and his
fruit was sweete to my note taste.
4
Hee brought me to the note banketting
house, and his banner ouer mee,
was loue.
5
Stay me with flagons, note comfort
me with apples, for I am sicke of loue.
6
noteHis left hand is vnder my head,
and his right hand doeth imbrace me.
Christ, and his Church.
7
note noteI charge you, O ye daughters
of Ierusalem, by the Roes, and by the
hindes of the field, that ye stirre not vp,
nor awake my loue, till she please.
8
¶ The voice of my beloued! behold!
hee commeth leaping vpon the
mountaines, skipping vpon the hils.
9
noteMy beloued is like a Roe, or a
yong Hart: behold, he standeth behind
our wall, he looketh foorth at the windowe,
note shewing himselfe through the
lattesse.
10
My beloued spake, and said vnto
me, Rise vp, my Loue, my faire one,
and come away.
11
For loe, the winter is past, the
raine is ouer, and gone.
12
The flowers appeare on the earth,
the time of the singing of birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in
our land.
13
The fig tree putteth foorth her
greene figs, and the vines with the tender
grape giue a good smell. Arise, my
loue, my faire one, and come away.
14
¶ O my doue! that art in the clefts
of the rocke, in the secret places of the
staires: let me see thy countenance, let
me heare thy voice, for sweet is thy voice,
and thy countenance is comely.
15
Take vs the foxes, the litle foxes,
that spoile the vines: for our vines haue
tender grapes.
16
¶ note My beloued is mine, and I am
his: he feedeth among the lillies.
17
noteUntill the day breake, and the
shadowes flee away: turne my beloued
and be thou note like a Roe, or a yong Hart,
vpon the mountaines note of Bether.
