 | A paraphrase upon the canticles |  |
SPONSUS.
Sub arbore malo suscitavi te.
Sponsus.
—There 'twas, under the Apple-Tree,
Where first I found, and first rais'd Thee.
Thy Mother there her Fruit disclos'd,
And there thou first didst lie expos'd,
50
Led to Thy rescue, by my first Loves purest flame.
