Chap. I.
2 Let note him kisse me with the kisse of his mouth:
because thy brestes are better then wine,
3 smelling
fragrantly of the best ointments. Oile powred
out is thy name: therfore haue yongmaydes
loued thee.
4 Draw me: we wil runne after thee in the odour
of thine ointments. The king hath brought me into his cellars:
we wil reioyce & be glad in thee, mindful of thy brests aboue
wine: the righteous loue thee.
5 noteI am blacke but beutiful,
ô ye daughters of Ierusalem, as the tabernacles of Cedar, as
the skinnes of Salomon.
6 Doe not consider me that I am
browne, because the sunne hath altered my colour: the sonnes
of my mother haue fought against me, they haue made me a
-- --
keeper in the vinyards: my vinyard I haue not kept.
7 Shew
me ô thou, whom my soule loueth, where thou feedest, where
thou lyest in the midday, left I beginne to wander after the
flockes of thy companyons.
8 noteIf thou know not thyselfe,
ô most fayrest among wemen, goeforth, and folow after the
steppes of the flockes, and feede thy kiddes byside the tabernacles
of the pastours.
9 To my companie of horsemen, in
the chariotes of Pharao, haue I likened thee, ô my loue.
10 Thy
cheekes are beautiful as the turtledoues, thy necke as iewels.
11 We wil make thee cheynes of gold, enamoled with siluer.
12 noteWhiles the king was at his repose, my spikenard gaue the
odour thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrhe my beloued is to me,
he shal abide betwen my brestes.
14 A clustre of cypre my loue
is to me, in the vineyardes of Engaddi.
15 noteBehold thou art
fayre, ô my loue, behold thou art fayre, thyne eyes are as of
doues.
16 noteBehold thou art fayre my beloued, & comlie: note our
litle bed is florishing.
17 The beames of our houses are of cedar,
our rafters of cypresse trees.
