I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, if ye find my beloued, that yee tell him, that I am sicke of loue.

What is thy beloued more then another beloued, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloued more then another beloued, that thou doest so charge vs?

My beloued is white and ruddy, the chiefest among tenne thousand.

His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and blacke as a Rauen.

His eyes are as the eyes of doues by the riuers of water, washed with milk, and fitly set.

His cheekes are as a bed of spices, as sweete flowers: his lippes like lillies, dropping sweete smelling myrrhe.

His hands are as gold rings set with the Berill: His belly is as bright iuorie, ouerlayd with Saphires.

His legges are as pillars of marble, set vpon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the Cedars.

His mouth is most sweete, yea he is altogether louely. This is my beloued, and this is my friend, O daughters of Ierusalem.
