| 1 | The song of songs, which is Solomons. |
| 2 | Let him kisse mee with the kisses of his mouth: for thy Loue is better then wine. |
| 3 | Because of the sauour of thy good ointments, thy name is as ointment powred forth, therefore doe the virgins loue thee. |
| 4 | Draw me, we will runne after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and reioyce in thee, we wil remember thy loue more then wine: the vpright loue thee. |
| 5 | I am blacke, but comely, (O ye daughters of Ierusalem) as the tents of Kedar, as the curtaines of Solomon. |
| 6 | Looke not vpon me because I am blacke, because the Sunne hath looked vpon me: my mothers children were angry with me, they made me the keeper of the vineyards, but mine owne vineyard haue I not kept. |
| 7 | Tell me, (O thou whom my soule loueth) where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flocke to rest at noone: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flockes of thy companions? |
| 8 | If thou know not (O thou fairest among women) goe thy way forth by the footsteps of the flocke, and feede thy kiddes beside the shepheards tents. |
| 9 | I haue compared thee, O my loue, to a company of horses in Pharaohs chariots. |
| 10 | Thy cheekes are comely with rowes of iewels, thy necke with chaines of golde. |
| 11 | Wee will make thee borders of golde, with studdes of siluer. |
| 12 | While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth foorth the smell thereof. |
| 13 | A bundle of myrrhe is my welbeloued vnto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. |
| 14 | My beloued is vnto me, as a cluster of Camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. |
| 15 | Behold, thou art faire, my loue: behold, thou art faire, thou hast doues eyes. |
| 16 | Behold, thou art faire, my beloued; yea pleasant: also our bedde is greene. |
| 17 | The beames of our house are Cedar, and our rafters of firre. |
