Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ What maner of man is thy loue aboue other louers, O thou fairest among women? Or what can thy loue do more then other louers, that thou chargest vs so straytly ¹⁰ As for my loue, he is whyte and red coloured, a goodly person among tenne thousande ¹¹ His head is as the most fine golde, the lockes of his heere are busshed, & blacke as a crowe ¹² His eyes are as the eyes of doues by the water brookes as though they were wasshed with mylke, and are set lyke pearles in golde ¹³ His cheekes are lyke a garden bed, wherin the Apothecaries plant all maner of sweete thynges. His lippes are lyke lilies that droppe sweete smellyng Myrre ¹⁴ His handes are lyke golde rynges, hauyng inclosed the precious stone of Tharsis. His body is as the pure iuorie, dect ouer with Saphires ¹⁵ His legges are as the pillers of Marble set vpon sockettes of golde. His face is as Libanus: and as the beautie of the Cedar trees ¹⁶ The wordes of his mouth are sweete: yea he is altogether louely: Such a one is my loue O ye daughters of Hierusalem, such a one is my loue
