1 I am the rose of the fielde, and the lilie of the valleys. 2 Like a lilie amog the thornes, so is my loue among the daughters. 3 Like the apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my welbeloued among the sonnes of men: vnder his shadow had I delite, & sate downe: and his fruite was sweete vnto my mouth. 4 Hee brought mee into the wine cellar, and loue was his banner ouer me. 5 Stay me with flagons, and comfort me with apples: for I am sicke of loue. 6 His left hande is vnder mine head, and his right hand doeth imbrace me. 7 I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue, vntill she please. 8 It is the voyce of my welbeloued: beholde, hee commeth leaping by the mountaines, and skipping by the hilles. 9 My welbeloued is like a roe, or a yong hart: loe, he standeth behinde our wall, looking forth of the windowes, shewing him selfe through the grates. Song of Solomon 2:1-9, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
