Chap. V.
1 Let note my beloued come into his garden, and eate the
fruite of his appletrees. noteI am come into my garden
ô my sister spouse, I haue reaped my myrrhe, with myne
aromatical spices: I haue eaten the honiecombe with mine
honie, I haue drunke my wine with my milke: note eate ô
frendes, and drinke, and be inebriated my dearest. noteI sleepe,
and my hart watcheth: note the voice of my beloued knocking:
Open to me my sister, my loue, my doue, mine immaculate:
note because my head is ful of dew, and my lockes of the droppes
of the nightes.
3 I haue spoyled myselfe of my robe, how
shal I be clothed with it? I haue washed my feete, how shal
I defile them?
4 My beloued put his hand through the hole,
and my bellie trembled at his touch.
5 noteI arose, that I might
open to my beloued: my handes haue distilled myrrhe, and
my fingers are ful of most approued myrrhe.
6 I opened the
bolt of my dore to my beloued: but he had turned aside, and
was passed. My soule melted, as he spake: I sought, and found
him not: I called, and he did not answer me.
7 The keepers
that goe about the citie found me: they stroke me, and
wounded me: the keepers of the walles tooke away my cloke.
8 noteI adiure you ô daughters of Hierusalem, if you shal finde
my beloued, that you tel him, that I languishe with loue.
9 noteWhat maner of one is thy beloued of the beloued, ô most
beautiful of wemen? What maner of one is thy beloued of
the beloued, that thou hast so adiured vs?
10 My beloued is
white and ruddie, chosen of thousands.
11 His head is as the
best gold: his heares as the branches of palmetrees, blacke as à
rauen.
12 His eies as doues vpon the litle riuers of waters,
which are washed with milke, and sitte beside the most ful
streames.
13 His cheekes are as litle beddes of aromatical spices
set of the pigmentaries. His lippes are as lilies distilling principal
myrrhe.
14 His handes wrought round of gold, ful of
hyacinthes. His bellie of iuorie, distinguished with sapphires.
15 His thighes as pillers of marble, that are vpon feete of gold.
His forme as of Libanus, elect as the cedars.
16 His throte most
sweete, and he whole to be desired: such an one is my beloued,
and he is my frend, ô daughters of Hierusalem.
17 noteWhither is
thy beloued gone ô most beautiful of wemen? whither is
thy beloued turned aside, and we wil seeke him with thee?
