verse 11 For lo the winter passed is, the rain is over-gone. verse 12 The flowers appear upon the earth, birds singing time is come; And of the turtle-dove the voice is heard our land within. verse 13 the fig tree causeth forth to spring her figs that yet are green.
The vines also with tender grape do give good smell, I say Arise my love, my comely one, and do thou come away. verse 14 My dove i'th' rocky clefts, close sta•• thy voice O let me hear, ⟨p. 370⟩And see thy face: for sweet's thy voice, thy face is also fair.
verse 15 Take us the foxes, take for us the little foxes here, That spoil the vines; because our vines most tender grapes do bear. verse 16 My well-beloved one is mine, and I am also his Amongst the lily-flowers also his pleasant feeding is.
