O * 1.1 Howe fayre art thou / my loue, howe [unspec A] fayre art thou? thou hast doues eyes, besyde that whiche lyeth hyd within.
* 1.2 Thy hearye lockes are lyke the wol of a flocke of shepe that be shorne vpon mount G••lead: Thy teth are lyke shepe of the same by gnesse, which went vp from the washyng place: where euery one beareth two twins, and nat one vnfrutefull amonge them.
Thy lyppes are lyke a rose coulored ry∣bonde, thy wordes are louely: thy chekes are lyke a pece of a pomgranate / besydes that whiche lyeth hyd within. Thy necke is lyke the tower of Dauid buylded with bulwerckes / wher vpon there hang a thou∣sande shyldes, yee all the weapens of the geauntes. * 1.3 Thy two brestes are lyke two twyns of yonge roes / whiche fede amonge roses. O that I myght go to the moun∣tayne of Myrre, and to the hyll of frankyn∣cense: tyll the daye breake & tyll the shado∣dowes be past awaye. Thou art all fayre, O my loue & there is no spott in the. Come [unspec B] to me from Lybanus, O my spouse come to me from Lybanus: loke from the toppe of Amana frō the toppe of San•••• & Hermon, frō the lions dennes & frō the moūtaynes of the leopardes. Thou hast woūded my hert.
