Geneva1599 - Song of Solomon - 5

5:1  I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I gathered my myrrhe with my spice: I ate mine hony combe with mine hony, I dranke my wine with my milke: eate, O friends, drinke, and make you merie, O welbeloued.

5:2  I sleepe, but mine heart waketh, it is the voyce of my welbeloued that knocketh, saying, Open vnto mee, my sister, my loue, my doue, my vndefiled: for mine head is full of dewe, and my lockes with the droppes of the night.

5:3  I haue put off my coate, howe shall I put it on? I haue washed my feete, howe shall I defile them?

5:4  My welbeloued put in his hand by the hole of the doore, and mine heart was affectioned toward him.

5:5  I rose vp to open to my welbeloued, and mine hands did drop downe myrrhe, and my fingers pure myrrhe vpon the handels of the barre.

5:6  I opened to my welbeloued: but my welbeloued was gone, and past: mine heart was gone when hee did speake: I sought him, but I coulde not finde him: I called him, but hee answered mee not.

5:7  The watchmen that went about the citie, founde me: they smote me and wounded me: the watchmen of the walles tooke away my vaile from me.

5:8  I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, if you finde my welbeloued, that you tell him that I am sicke of loue.

5:9  O the fairest among women, what is thy welbeloued more then other welbeloued? what is thy welbeloued more then another louer, that thou doest so charge vs?

5:10  My welbeloued is white and ruddie, the chiefest of ten thousand.

5:11  His head is as fine golde, his lockes curled, and blacke as a rauen.

5:12  His eyes are like doues vpon the riuers of waters, which are washt with milke, and remaine by the full vessels.

5:13  His cheekes are as a bedde of spices, and as sweete flowres, and his lippes like lilies dropping downe pure myrrhe.

5:14  His hands as rings of gold set with the chrysolite, his belly like white yuorie couered with saphirs.

5:15  His legges are as pillars of marble, set vpon sockets of fine golde: his countenance as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

5:16  His mouth is as sweete thinges, and hee is wholy delectable: this is my welbeloued, and this is my louer, O daughters of Ierusalem. O the fairest among women, whither is thy welbeloued gone? whither is thy welbeloued turned aside, that we may seeke him with thee?
