Song of Solomon 2:1-9 ▼

1 I am the rose of the fielde, and lillie of the valleys,

2 As the lillie among the thornes: so is my loue among the daughters.

3 Like as the apple tree among the trees of the wood: so is my beloued among the sonnes.

4 My delight is to sit vnder his shadowe, for his fruite is sweete vnto my throte.

5 He bringeth me into his wine seller, his banner spread ouer me, whiche is his loue.

6 Set about me cuppes of wine, comfort me with apples, for I am sicke of loue.

7 His left hande lyeth vnder my head, and his right hande shall imbrace me.

8 I charge you (O ye daughters of Hierusalem) by the roes and hindes of the fiede, that ye wake not vp my loue, nor touche her, tyll she be content her selfe.

9 Me thinke I heare the voyce of my beloued: lo, there commeth he hopping vpon the mountaines, and leaping ouer the litle hilles.
