Christ awaketh the Church with his calling.

1 ¶ I am comeºª into my garden,º my sister,º [my] spouse:º I have gatheredºª my myrrhº with² my spice;º I have eatenºª my honeycombº with² my honey;º I have drunkºª my wineº with² my milk:º eat,ºª O friends;º drink,ºª yea, drink abundantly,ºª O beloved.º

The Church having a taste of Christ's love is sick of love.

2 ¶ I² sleep,º but my heartº waketh:ºª [it is] the voiceº of my belovedº that knocketh,ºª [saying], Openºª to me, my sister,º my love,º my dove,º my undefiled:º for my headº² is filledºª with dew,º [and] my locksº with the dropsº of the night.º 3 I have put offºª² my coat;º howº shall I put it on?ºª I have washedºª² my feet;º howº shall I defileºª them? 4 My belovedº put inºª his handº byº the holeº [of the door], and my bowelsº were movedºª for² him. 5 I² rose upºª to openºª to my beloved;º and my handsº droppedºª [with] myrrh,º and my fingersº [with] sweet smellingºª myrrh,º upon² the handlesº of the lock.º 6 I² openedºª to my beloved;º but my belovedº had withdrawnºª himself, [and] was gone:ºª my soulº failedºª when he spake:ºª I soughtºª him, but I could not² findºª him; I calledºª him, but he gave me no answer.ºª² 7 The watchmenºª that went aboutºª the cityº foundºª me, they smoteºª me, they woundedºª me; the keepersºª of the wallsº took awayºª² my veilº from²² me. 8 I chargeºª you, O daughtersº of Jerusalem,º if² ye findºª² my beloved,º that² ye tellºª him, that I² [am] sickºª² of love.º

9 ¶ What² [is] thy belovedº more than [another] beloved,º² O thou fairestº among women?º what² [is] thy belovedº more than [another] beloved,º² that thou¹ dost so²² chargeºª us? 10 My belovedº [is] whiteº and ruddy,º the chiefestºª among ten thousand.º² 11 His headº [is as] the mostº fine gold,º his locksº [are] bushy,º [and] blackº as a raven.º 12 His eyesº [are] as [the eyes] of dovesº by² the riversº of waters,º washedºª with milk,º [and] fitly set.ººª 13 His cheeksº [are] as a bedº of spices,º [as] sweetº flowers:º his lipsº [like] lilies,º droppingºª sweet smellingºª myrrh.º 14 His handsº [are as] goldº ringsº setºª with the beryl:º his bellyº [is as] brightº ivoryº overlaidºª [with] sapphires.º 15 His legsº [are as] pillarsº of marble,º setºª upon² socketsº of fine gold:º his countenanceº [is] as Lebanon,º excellentºª as the cedars.º 16 His mouthº [is] most sweet:º yea, he [is] altogether² lovely.º This² [is] my beloved,º and this² [is] my friend,º O daughtersº of Jerusalem.º
