Song of Solomon 2:16 Context
14¶ O my doue! that art in the clefts of the rocke, in the secret places of the staires: let me see thy countenance, let me heare thy voice, for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. 15Take vs the foxes, the litle foxes, that spoile the vines: for our vines haue tender grapes. 16¶ My beloued is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lillies. 17Untill the day breake, and the shadowes flee away: turne my beloued and be thou like a Roe, or a yong Hart, vpon the mountaines of Bether.
