xxx. Christe to his Spouse.
The argument.
Whan Christe hath praysed perfectly the perfect spouse, he calleth to mynde the other, whiche is yet in bed on slepe: and desirous to prayse her also, syngeth.
To the mount of myrrhe wyll I goe,
To the hyll of frankincence,
Goe wyll I to my Spouse, slepie who
Wysheth fayne in my presence
To cum.
To the hyll of frankincence,
Goe wyll I to my Spouse, slepie who
Wysheth fayne in my presence
To cum.
Thou art fayer al whole o my loue,
And no spot doeth rest in thee:
Fro thy self cum, cum from aboue
Libanus, though it bryght bee,
Cum, Cum.
And no spot doeth rest in thee:
Fro thy self cum, cum from aboue
Libanus, though it bryght bee,
Cum, Cum.
In thy strength trust not o my Spouse,
But in me put all thy trust:
So thou shalt be made gloriouse,
If thou wylt therfore be iust,
Cum, cum.
