The Beloved's Excellence
Song of Solomon 2:3-7
3
Like the apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my welbeloued among the sonnes of men: vnder his shadow had I delite, and sate downe: and his fruite was sweete vnto my mouth.
4
Hee brought mee into the wine cellar, and loue was his banner ouer me.
5
Stay me with flagons, and comfort me with apples: for I am sicke of loue.
6
His left hande is vnder mine head, and his right hand doeth imbrace me.
7
I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue, vntill she please.
