+
+SOLOMON'S CANTICLE OF CANTICLES
+
+This Book is called the Canticle of Canticles, that is to say, the most
+excellent of all canticles: because it is full of high mysteries,
+relating to the happy union of Christ and his spouse: which is here
+begun by love; and is to be eternal in heaven. The spouse of Christ is
+the church: more especially as to the happiest part of it, viz., perfect
+souls, every one of which is his beloved, but, above all others, the
+immaculate and ever blessed virgin mother.
+
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 1
+
+The spouse aspires to an union with Christ, their mutual love for one
+another.
+
+1:1. Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth: for thy breasts are
+better than wine,
+
+Let him kiss me... The church, the spouse of Christ, prays that he may
+love and have peace with her, which the spouse prefers to every thing
+delicious: and therefore expresses (ver. 2) that young maidens, that is
+the souls of the faithful, have loved thee.
+
+1:2. Smelling sweet of the best ointments. Thy name is as oil poured
+out: therefore young maidens have loved thee.
+
+1:3. Draw me: we will run after thee to the odour of thy ointments. The
+king hath brought me into his storerooms: we will be glad and rejoice in
+thee, remembering thy breasts more than wine: the rightous love thee.
+
+Draw me... That is, with thy grace: otherwise I should not be able to
+come to thee. This metaphor shews that we cannot of ourselves come to
+Christ our Lord, unless he draws us by his grace, which is laid up in
+his storerooms: that is, in the mysteries of Faith, which God in his
+goodness and love for mankind hath revealed, first by his servant Moses
+in the Old Law in figure only, and afterwards in reality by his only
+begotten Son Jesus Christ.
+
+1:4. I am black but beautiful, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents
+of Cedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
+
+I am black but beautiful... That is, the church of Christ founded in
+humility appearing outwardly afflicted, and as it were black and
+contemptible; but inwardly, that is, in its doctrine and morality, fair
+and beautiful.
+
+1:5. Do not consider me that I am brown, because the sun hath altered my
+colour: the sons of my mother have fought against me, they have made me
+the keeper in the vineyards: my vineyard I have not kept.
+
+1:6. Shew me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou
+liest in the midday, lest I begin to wander after the flocks of thy
+companions.
+
+1:7. If thou know not thyself, O fairest among women, go forth, and
+follow after the steps of the flocks, and feed thy kids beside the tents
+of the shepherds.
+
+If thou know not thyself, etc... Christ encourages his spouse to follow
+and watch her flock: and though she know not entirely the power at hand
+to assist her, he tells her, ver. 8, my company of horsemen, that is,
+his angels, are always watching and protecting her. And in the following
+verses he reminds her of the virtues and gifts with which he has endowed
+her.
+
+1:8. To my company of horsemen, in Pharao's chariots, have I likened
+thee, O my love.
+
+1:9. Thy cheeks are beautiful as the turtledove's, thy neck as jewels.
+
+1:10. We will make thee chains of gold, inlaid with silver.
+
+1:11. While the king was at his repose, my spikenard sent forth the
+odour thereof.
+
+1:12. A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, he shall abide between my
+breasts.
+
+1:13. A cluster of cypress my love is to me, in the vineyards of
+Engaddi.
+
+1:14. Behold thou are fair, O my love, behold thou are fair, thy eyes
+are as those of doves.
+
+1:15. Behold thou art fair, my beloved, and comely. Our bed is
+flourishing.
+
+1:16. The beams of our houses are of cedar, our rafters of cypress
+trees.
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 2
+
+Christ caresses his spouse: he invites her to him.
+
+2:1. I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.
+
+I am the flower of the field... Christ professes himself the flower of
+mankind, yea, the Lord of all creatures: and, ver. 2, declares the
+excellence of his spouse, the true church above all other societies,
+which are to be considered as thorns.
+
+2:2. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
+
+2:3. 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.
+
+2:4. He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in
+me.
+
+2:5. Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I
+languish with love.
+
+2:6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace
+me.
+
+2:7. I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and the
+harts of the field, that you stir not up, nor make the beloved to awake,
+till she please.
+
+2:8. The voice of my beloved, behold he cometh leaping upon the
+mountains, skipping over the hills.
+
+The voice of my beloved: that is, the preaching of the gospel
+surmounting difficulties figuratively here expressed by mountains and
+little hills.
+
+2:9. My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart. Behold he standeth
+behind our wall, looking through the windows, looking through the
+lattices.
+
+2:10. Behold my beloved speaketh to me: Arise, make haste, my love, my
+dove, my beautiful one, and come.
+
+2:11. For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone.
+
+2:12. The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is
+come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land:
+
+2:13. The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the vines in flower
+yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come:
+
+2:14. My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the
+wall, shew me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears: for thy voice is
+sweet, and thy face comely.
+
+2:15. Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for our vineyard
+hath flourished.
+
+Catch us the little foxes... Christ commands his pastors to catch false
+teachers, by holding forth their fallacy and erroneous doctrine, which
+like foxes would bite and destroy the vines.
+
+2:16. My beloved to me, and I to him who feedeth among the lilies,
+
+2:17. Till the day break, and the shadows retire. Return: be like, my
+beloved, to a roe, or to a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 3
+
+The spouse seeks Christ. The glory of his humanity.
+
+3:1. In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him,
+and found him not.
+
+In my bed by night, etc... The Gentiles as in the dark, and seeking in
+heathen delusion what they could not find, the true God, until Christ
+revealed his doctrine to them by his watchmen, (ver. 3,) that is, by the
+apostles, and teachers by whom they were converted to the true faith;
+and holding that faith firmly, the spouse (the Catholic Church)
+declares, ver. 4, That she will not let him go, till she bring him into
+her mother's house, etc., that is, till at last, the Jews also shall
+find him.
+
+3:2. I will rise, and will go about the city: in the streets and the
+broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and I
+found him not.
+
+3:3. The watchmen who keep the city, found me: Have you seen him, whom
+my soul loveth?
+
+3:4. When I had a little passed by them, I found him whom my soul
+loveth: I held him: and I will not let him go, till I bring him into my
+mother's house, and into the chamber of her that bore me.
+
+3:5. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes and the harts
+of the fields, that you stir not up, nor awake my beloved, till she
+please.
+
+3:6. Who is she that goeth up by the desert, as a pillar of smoke of
+aromatical spices, of myrrh, and frankincense, and of all the powders of
+the perfumer?
+
+3:7. Behold threescore valiant ones of the most valiant of Israel,
+surrounded the bed of Solomon?
+
+3:8. All holding swords, and most expert in war: every man's sword upon
+his thigh, because of fears in the night.
+
+3:9. King Solomon hath made him a litter of the wood of Libanus:
+
+3:10. The pillars thereof he made of silver, the seat of gold, the going
+up of purple: the midst he covered with charity for the daughters of
+Jerusalem.
+
+3:11. Go forth, ye daughters of Sion, and see king Solomon in the
+diadem, wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of the joy of his
+heart.
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 4
+
+Christ sets forth the graces of his spouse: and declares his love for
+her.
+
+4:1. How beautiful art thou, my love, how beautiful art thou! thy eyes
+are doves' eyes, besides what is hid within. Thy hair is as flocks of
+goats, which come up from mount Galaad.
+
+How beautiful art thou... Christ again praises the beauties of his
+church, which through the whole of this chapter are exemplified by a
+variety of metaphors, setting forth her purity, her simplicity, and her
+stability.
+
+4:2. Thy teeth as flocks of sheep, that are shorn, which come up from
+the washing, all with twins, and there is none barren among them.
+
+4:3. Thy lips are as a scarlet lace: and thy speech sweet. Thy cheeks
+are as a piece of a pomegranate, besides that which lieth hid within.
+
+4:4. Thy neck, is as the tower of David, which is built with bulwarks: a
+thousand bucklers hang upon it, all the armour of valiant men.
+
+4:5. Thy two breasts like two young roes that are twins, which feed
+among the lilies.
+
+Thy two breasts, etc... Mystically to be understood: the love of God and
+the love of our neighbour, which are so united as twins which feed among
+the lilies: that is, the love of God and our neighbour, feeds on the
+divine mysteries and the holy sacraments, left by Christ to his spouse
+to feed and nourish her children.
+
+4:6. Till the day break, and the shadows retire, I will go to the
+mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
+
+4:7. Thou art all fair, O my love, and there is not a spot in thee.
+
+4:8. Come from Libanus, my spouse, come from Libanus, come: thou shalt
+be crowned from the top of Amana, from the top of Sanir and Hermon, from
+the dens of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.
+
+4:9. Thou hast wounded my heart, my sister, my spouse, thou hast wounded
+my heart with one of thy eyes, and with one hair of thy neck.
+
+4:10. How beautiful are thy breasts, my sister, my spouse! thy breasts
+are more beautiful than wine, and the sweet smell of thy ointments above
+all aromatical spices.
+
+4:11. Thy lips, my spouse, are as a dropping honeycomb, honey and milk
+are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments, as the smell of
+frankincense.
+
+4:12. My sister, my spouse, is a garden enclosed, a garden enclosed, a
+fountain sealed up.
+
+My sister, etc., a garden enclosed... Figuratively the church is
+enclosed, containing only the faithful. A fountain sealed up... That
+none can drink of its waters, that is, the graces and spiritual benefits
+of the holy sacraments, but those who are within its walls.
+
+4:13. Thy plants are a paradise of pomegranates with the fruits of the
+orchard. Cypress with spikenard.
+
+4:14. Spikenard and saffron, sweet cane and cinnamon, with all the trees
+of Libanus, myrrh and aloes with all the chief perfumes.
+
+4:15. The fountain of gardens: the well of living waters, which run with
+a strong stream from Libanus.
+
+4:16. Arise, O north wind, and come, O south wind, blow through my
+garden, and let the aromatical spices thereof flow.
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 5
+
+Christ calls his spouse: she languishes with love: and describes him by
+his graces.
+
+5:1. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat the fruit of his apple
+trees. I am come into my garden, O my sister, my spouse, I have gathered
+my myrrh, with my aromatical spices: I have eaten the honeycomb with my
+honey, I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends, and drink, and
+be inebriated, my dearly beloved.
+
+Let my beloved come into his garden, etc... Garden, mystically the
+church of Christ, abounding with fruit, that is, the good works of the
+elect.
+
+5:2. I sleep, and my heart watcheth: the voice of my beloved knocking:
+Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is
+full of dew, and my locks of the drops of the nights.
+
+5:3. I have put off my garment, how shall I put it on? I have washed my
+feet, how shall I defile them?
+
+5:4. My beloved put his hand through the key hole, and my bowels were
+moved at his touch.
+
+My beloved put his hand through the key hole, etc... The spouse of
+Christ, his church, at times as it were penned up by its persecutors,
+and in fears, expecting the divine assistance, here signified by his
+hand: and ver. 6, but he had turned aside and was gone, that is, Christ
+permitting a further trial of suffering: and again, ver. 7, the keepers,
+etc., signifying the violent and cruel persecutors of the church taking
+her veil, despoiling the church of its places of worship and ornaments
+for the divine service.
+
+5:5. I arose up to open to my beloved: my hands dropped with myrrh, and
+my fingers were full of the choicest myrrh.
+
+5:6. I opened the bolt of my door to my beloved: but he had turned
+aside, and was gone. My soul melted when he spoke: I sought him, and
+found him not: I called, and he did not answer me.
+
+5:7. The keepers that go about the city found me: they struck me: and
+wounded me: the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
+
+5:8. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved,
+that you tell him that I languish with love.
+
+5:9. What manner of one is thy beloved of the beloved, O thou most
+beautiful among women? what manner of one is thy beloved of the beloved,
+that thou hast so adjured us?
+
+5:10. My beloved is white and ruddy, chosen out of thousands.
+
+My beloved, etc... In this and the following verses, the church
+mystically describes Christ to those who know him not, that is, to
+infidels in order to convert them to the true faith.
+
+5:11. His head is as the finest gold: his locks as branches of palm
+trees, black as a raven.
+
+5:12. His eyes as doves upon brooks of waters, which are washed with
+milk, and sit beside the plentiful streams.
+
+5:13. His cheeks are as beds of aromatical spices set by the perfumers.
+His lips are as lilies dropping choice myrrh.
+
+5:14. His hands are turned and as of gold, full of hyacinths. His belly
+as of ivory, set with sapphires.
+
+5:15. His legs as pillars of marble, that are set upon bases of gold.
+His form as of Libanus, excellent as the cedars.
+
+5:16. His throat most sweet, and he is all lovely: such is my beloved,
+and he is my friend, O ye daughters of Jerusalem.
+
+5:17. Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou most beautiful among women?
+whither is thy beloved turned aside, and we will seek him with thee?
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 6
+
+The spouse of Christ is but one: she is fair and terrible.
+
+6:1. My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the bed of aromatical
+spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
+
+My beloved is gone down into his garden... Christ, pleased with the good
+works of his holy and devout servants labouring in his garden, is always
+present with them: but the words is gone down, are to be understood,
+that after trying his Church by permitting persecution, he comes to her
+assistance and she rejoices at his coming.
+
+6:2. I to my beloved, and my beloved to me, who feedeth among the
+lilies.
+
+6:3. Thou art beautiful, O my love, sweet and comely as Jerusalem
+terrible as an army set in array.
+
+6:4. Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have made me flee away. Thy
+hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from Galaad.
+
+6:5. Thy teeth as a flock of sheep, which come up from the washing, all
+with twins, and there is none barren among them.
+
+6:6. Thy cheeks are as the bark of a pomegranate, beside what is hidden
+within thee.
+
+6:7. There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and young
+maidens without number.
+
+6:8. One is my dove, my perfect one is but one, she is the only one of
+her mother, the chosen of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and
+declared her most blessed: the queens and concubines, and they praised
+her.
+
+One is my dove, etc... That is, my church is one, and she only is
+perfect and blessed.
+
+6:9. Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the
+moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array?
+
+Who is she, etc... Here is a beautiful metaphor describing the church
+from the beginning. As, the morning rising, signifying the church before
+the written law; fair as the moon, shewing her under the light of the
+gospel: and terrible as an army, the power of Christ's church against
+its enemies.
+
+6:10. I went down into the garden of nuts, to see the fruits of the
+valleys, and to look if the vineyard had flourished, and the
+pomegranates budded.
+
+6:11. I knew not: my soul troubled me for the chariots of Aminadab.
+
+6:12. Return, return, O Sulamitess: return, return that we may behold
+thee.
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 7
+
+A further description of the graces of the church the spouse of Christ.
+
+7:1. What shalt thou see in the Sulamitess but the companies of camps?
+How beautiful are thy steps in shoes, O prince's daughter! The joints of
+thy thighs are like jewels, that are made by the hand of a skilful
+workman.
+
+How beautiful are thy steps, etc... By these metaphors are signified the
+power and mission of the church in propagating the true faith.
+
+7:2. Thy navel is like a round bowl never wanting cups. Thy belly is
+like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.
+
+7:3. Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
+
+7:4. Thy neck as a tower of ivory. Thy eyes like the fishpools in
+Hesebon, which are in the gate of the daughter of the multitude. Thy
+nose is as the tower of Libanus, that looketh toward Damascus.
+
+7:5. Thy head is like Carmel: and the hairs of thy head as the purple of
+the king bound in the channels.
+
+Thy head is like Carmel... Christ, the invisible head of his church, is
+here signified.
+
+7:6. How beautiful art thou, and how comely, my dearest, in delights!
+
+7:7. Thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of
+grapes.
+
+7:8. I said: I will go up into the palm tree, and will take hold of the
+fruit thereof: and thy breasts shall be as the clusters of the vine: and
+the odour of thy mouth like apples.
+
+7:9. Thy throat like the best wine, worthy for my beloved to drink, and
+for his lips and his teeth to ruminate.
+
+7:10. I to my beloved, and his turning is towards me.
+
+7:11. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field, let us abide in
+the villages.
+
+7:12. Let us get up early to the vineyards, let us see if the vineyard
+flourish, if the flowers be ready to bring forth fruits, if the
+pomegranates flourish: there will I give thee my breasts.
+
+7:13. The mandrakes give a smell. In our gates are all fruits: the new
+and the old, my beloved, I have kept for thee.
+
+Canticle of Canticles Chapter 8
+
+The love of the church to Christ: his love to her.
+
+8:1. Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my
+mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may
+despise me?
+
+8:2. I will take hold of thee, and bring thee into my mother's house:
+there thou shalt teach me, and I will give thee a cup of spiced wine and
+new wine of my pomegranates.
+
+8:3. His left hand under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
+
+His left hand, etc... Words of the church to Christ. His left hand,
+signifying the Old Testament, and his right hand, the New.
+
+8:4. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor
+awake my love till she please.
+
+8:5. Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights,
+leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I raised thee up: there
+thy mother was corrupted, there she was defloured that bore thee.
+
+Who is this, etc... The angels with admiration behold the Gentiles
+converted to the faith: coming up from the desert, that is, coming from
+heathenism and false worship: flowing with delights, that is, abounding
+with good works which are pleasing to God: leaning on her beloved, on
+the promise of Christ to his Church, that the gates of hell should not
+prevail against it; and supported by his grace conferred by the
+sacraments. Under the apple tree I raised thee up; that is, that Christ
+redeemed the Gentiles at the foot of the cross, where the synagogue of
+the Jews (the mother church) was corrupted by their denying him, and
+crucifying him.
+
+8:6. Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love
+is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire
+and flames.
+
+8:7. Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it:
+if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall
+despise it as nothing.
+
+8:8. 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?
+
+Our sister is little, etc... Mystically signifies the Jews, who are to
+be spoken to: that is, converted towards the end of the world: and then
+shall become a wall, that is, a part of the building, the church of
+Christ.
+
+8:9. 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 of cedar.
+
+8:10. I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in
+his presence as one finding peace.
+
+8:11. 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.
+
+8:12. My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable,
+and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof.
+
+8:13. Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the friends hearken: make me
+hear thy voice.
+
+8:14. Flee away, O my beloved, and be like to the roe, and to the young
+hart upon the mountains of aromatical spices.

+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.
+

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright

+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES

+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
