Song of Solomon 5:6-13

⁶I 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.

⁷The 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.

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

⁹O 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?

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

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

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

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