The fourth speach.
The spouses speaketh.
1
Yea all his acts are firme, & strongAs sett in gold most sure.
No shevve of change, but streight, & cleere
Both sound, & safe, & pure
2
His mouth is as svveet things of choiceFrō vvhēce doth flovve my blysse
He is all svveet, in part, in vvhole,
And I poore soule am his.
A forraigne congregatiō speakes.
3
Since then o deere such is thy loue,Shevve vs vvhere he is found,
And vve vvill seeke this loue vvith thee
In all the vvorld so round
4
For nōe, but thee o church cāst himMake knowne, in vvord, in deed
O tell vs then, & vve vvill ioyne,
And he shall be our meede.
134
The spouses speaketh.
5
Thē sayd I to those that him soughtHe is gone dovvne to be
In beds of spice vvith soules, & saincts
That is my loue, thats he
6
Yea I am his in his sweet loue,And he is mine by faith.
In spight of hell, or sinne, or shame
His vvord to me so saith.
7
And both of vs are one in god,And knitt in soule, & spright
By loue most svveete, & ioy of hart
I liue still in his sight.
