MY souls love I by night did seek as I on bed did lye Although that I for him did seek yet find him could not I. verse 2 Now I'le arise and in the streets, broad-streets of city round I will him seek whom my soul loves, I sought but not him found.
verse 3 As they about the city went the watch-men found out me: To whom I said, him whom my soul doth love▪ O did you see? ⟨image ?⟩verse 4 It was but as a little space, that I from them had past: But whom my soul did love, I found, and then I held him fast.
I would not suffer him to go, till I had brought him in My mothers house, the chamber where conceived I had been: verse 5 O daughters of Jerusalem, my love wake not, nor raise, By roes and hinds of field, I you do charge, until he please.
