The Daughters of Ierusalem1
Fairest of Faires, if thus it be,O whither is He gone?
Tell us, that we may seek with Thee
This thy Beloved one.
122
2
Down to his Garden He is gone,VVhere Beds of Spices are.
That He may Feed and Feast thereon
And Gather Lillies there.
3
I am my VVel-beloved onesMy VVel-beloved's mine.
He Feeds and Treads in pleasant meads,
VVhere the Bright Lillies Shine.
CHRIST.
4
My Love, Like Tirzah, thou art Neat,And Like Jerusalem,
And Like an Army so Compleat,
Men Fly for fear of them.
5
O Turn away thine Eyes from Me,Thy Bright and Sparkling Eyes,
To bear so great Felicity
My Strength doth not Suffice.
Thy Hairy Locks are Like Goats Flocks
Which from Mount Gilead Look.
6
So are thy Teeth like Well-shorn SheepCome from the Washing Brook.
123
For Fruit as well as View,
For Each of them her Twins doth bear,
There's not one Barren Ew.
7
As Broke Pomegranate Seemeth RedAnd Shines exceeding Clear,
So do the Temples of thy Head
Within thy Locks appear.
8
Thrice Twenty Queens together standAnd Fourscore Concubines,
And Virgins like the Numerous Sand,
Which to the Sea adjoynes.
9
My Spotless Dove, She is but one,The Darling of her Mother,
Who Love and prizes her alone,
She knowes not such another.
The Daughters saw her comely Lines,
And Prais'd her Lovely Face,
Yea, all the Queens and Concubines
Admir'd her Beauteous grace.
10
What Morn Looks forth? What Moon is there?What Sun may yonder be?
124
O what a One is She?
11
To the Nut-Garden down I wentTo See the Fruits below,
Whether the Vines their Grapes did Vent,
And the Pomegranates grow.
12
My Soul gave Me a sudden TwitchAnd made Me Nimbly Slide,
Like those Swift Chariots, in which
Amminnadib did Ride.
13
Return, Return, O Shulamite,Return, Return, Apace,
That we may look with much delight
Upon thy Glorious Face.
What in the Shulamite, I pray,
Do ye expect to See?
Two Armies Set in good Array!
Even such a One is She.
