Chap. VII.
1 VVhat note shalt thou see in the Sulamitesse but the
companies of campes? How beautiful are thy
pases in shoes, ô princes daughter! note the ioyntes of thy
thighes are as iewels, that are made by the hand of the artificer.
2 Thy nauel as à round bowle, neuer wanting cuppes.
Thy bellie as an heape of wheare, compassed about with
lilies.
3 Thy two breasts, as two fawnes the twinnes of a roe.
4 Thy necke as a towre of yuorie. Thine eies as the fishpooles
in Hesebon, which are in the gate of the daughter of the
-- --
multitude. Thy nose as the towre of Libanus; that looketh
against Damascus.
5 Thy head as Carmelus: and the heares
of thy head as a kings purple tyed to cundite pipes.
6 How
beautiful art thou, and how comely my dearest, in delightes!
7 Thy stature is like to a palmetree, & thy breastes to clusters
of grapes.
8 I sayd: I wil goe vp into the palmetree, and wil
take hold of the fruites therof: and thy breasts shal be as the
clusters of a vineyard: and the odour of thy mouth as it were
of apples.
9 Thy throate as the best wine, note worthie for my
beloued to drinke, & for his lippes and his teeth to ruminate.
10 I to my beloued, and his turning is toward me.
11 noteCome
my beloued, let vs goe forth into the filde, let vs abide in the
villages.
12 Let vs rise earely to the vineyards, let vs see if the
vineyard florishe, if the-flowers be readie to bring forth
fruites, if the pomegranates florish: there wil I giue thee my
breasts.
13 The Mandragoraes haue geuen a smel. In our gates
al fruites: note the new and the old, my beloued, I haue kept
for thee.
