[XXIII. When I obserue.]
When I obserue those beauties wonderments, mine eyes how doe you burne? But when those eares so deafe, at my laments, mine eyes, how doe you mourne? Loue this helpe deuise, or open her deafe eares, or close mine eyes

[XXV. Oft did I marle.]
Oft did I marle, how in thine eyes, Water and fire, did dwell together, Seeing tis knowne, in contraries, Each seekes the hurt & spoile of either, But fire and water there may dwell, where loue & hate together dwell,
[XXVI. Woe is me that I am constrayned.]
Woe is me, That I am constrayned, to dwell with Mesech, And to haue my habitation, among the Tents of Kedar.
[XXVII. It is my Well-beloueds voice.]
It is my Well-beloueds voice, That soundeth in my eare, My heart here-at doth much reioyce, to see him draw so neare, on yonder mountaine top, On yon same hill so tall, How hitherward my loue doth hop, My heart doth skip withall.
[XXVIII. Turne vnto the Lord.]
Tvrne vnto the Lord our God, For the Lord is gracious, His mercy is euerlasting, And his truth endureth from from generation, to generation
