Canticles 2:1-5 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.

2. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3. As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate.

4. He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.

5. Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I languish with love.
