Song of Solomon 7

1 The beautie of the Church in all her members. 10 She is aſſured of Chriſtes loue towardes her.
1.HOw beautiful are thy goings with ſhoes, ô princes daughter! the iointes of thy thighs are like iewels: the worke of the hand of a cunning workeman.
2.Thy nauel is as a rounde cuppe that wanteth not lickour: thy belly is as an heape of wheat compaſſed about with lilies.
3.Thy two breaſtes are as two yong roes that are twinnes.
4.Thy necke is like a towre of yuorie: thine eyes are like ye fiſhpooles in Heſhbón, by the gate of Bath-rabbím: thy noſe is as the towre of Lebanón, that loketh toward Damaſcus.
5.Thine head vpon thee is as skarlet, and the buſhe of thine head like purple: the King is tyed in the rafters.
6.How faire art thou, and how pleaſant art thou, ô my loue, in pleaſures!
7.This thy ſtature is like a palme tree, and thy breaſtes like cluſters.
8.I ſaid, I wil go vp into the palme tre, I wil take holde of her boughes: thy breaſtes ſhal now be like the cluſters of the vine: and the ſauour of thy noſe like apples,
9.And the roufe of thy mouth like good wine, which goeth ſtraight to my welbeloued, & cauſeth the lippes of the ancient to ſpeake.
10.I am my welbeloueds, and his deſire is toward me.
11.Come, my welbeloued, let vs go forthe into the field: let vs remaine in ye villages.
12.Let vs get vp early to the vines, let vs ſe if the vine floriſh, whether it hathe budded the ſmale grape, or whether the pomegranates floriſh: there wil I giue thee my loue.
13.The mãdrakes haue giuẽ a ſmel, & in our gates are all ſwete things, newe & olde: my welbeloued, I haue kept them for thee.
