5Verse 1My sister spousess, come thou into my garden. I have reaped my myrrh, with my sweet smelling spices; I have eaten an honeycomb, with mine honey; I have drunk my wine, with my milk. Friends, eat ye, and drink; and most dear friends, be ye filled greatly.Verse 2I sleep, and mine heart waketh. The voice of my darling knocking; my sister, my love, my culver, my spousess unwemmed, open thou to me; for mine head is full of dew, and mine hairs be full of [the] drops of nights.Verse 3I have unclothed me of my coat; how shall I be clothed therein? I have washed my feet; how shall I defoul them?Verse 4My darling put his hand by an hole in the door; and my womb trembled at the touching thereof.Verse 5I rose, for to open to my darling; mine hands dropped myrrh, and my fingers were full of myrrh most proved.Verse 6I opened the wicket of my door to my darling; and he had bowed away, and had passed forth. My soul was melted, as the darling spake; I sought, and I found not him; I called, and he answered not to me.Verse 7The keepers that compassed the city found me; they smote me, and wounded me; the keepers of [the] walls took away my mantle.Verse 8Ye daughters of Jerusalem, I beseech you by an holy thing, if ye have found my darling, that ye tell to him, that I am sick for love.Verse 9A! thou fairest of women, of what manner condition is thy darling of the beloved? of what manner condition is thy darling of a darling? for thou hast so besought us by an holy thing.Verse 10My darling is white and ruddy; chosen of thousands.Verse 11His head is best gold; his hairs be as the boughs of palm trees, and be black as a crow.Verse 12His eyes be as culvers on the strands of waters, that be washed in milk, and sit beside [the] fullest rivers.Verse 13His cheeks be as gardens of sweet smelling spices, set of ointment makers; his lips be as lilies, dropping down the best myrrh.Verse 14His hands be able to turn about, golden, and full of jacinths; his womb is of ivory, adorned with sapphires.Verse 15His hips be pillars of marble, that be founded on foundaments of gold; his shapeliness is as the Lebanon, he is chosen as cedars.Verse 16His throat is most sweet, and he is all desirable. Ye daughters of Jerusalem, such is my darling, and this is my friend.
