The argument.
Whan the Churche hath particulerly descrybed Christe as well as she coulde, at last astonished with beholdyng the depth of his wunderful mercies, and hyndered through infirmitie to vtter suche thinges as she gladly would, she breketh out into wunderyng: and desyrous to styr vp al other to desyer hym, concluded muche in few wurdes, syngyng.
Ye faythfull would ye know,
At full what one he is?
My wit and learnyng is to low
To shew that shape of his.
At full what one he is?
My wit and learnyng is to low
To shew that shape of his.
Yet thus saye I of hym,
Because ye me requyrde:
His excellence in euery lym,
Ought wholly be desyerde.
Because ye me requyrde:
His excellence in euery lym,
Ought wholly be desyerde.
My Loue is suche a gem,
My Frende also is he:
Ye daughters of Ierusalem,
Suche is my Loue to me.
My Frende also is he:
Ye daughters of Ierusalem,
Suche is my Loue to me.
