Canticles 8:8-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

8. Our sister is little, and hath no breasts. What shall we do to our sister in the day when she is to be spoken to?

9. If she be a wall: let us build upon it bulwarks of silver: if she be a door, let us join it together with boards or cedar.

10. I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace.

11. The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver.

12. My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof.

13. Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the friends hearken: make me hear thy voice.

14. Flee away, O my beloved, and be like to the roe, and to the young hart upon the mountains of aromatical spices.
