Canticles 1:1-4 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth: for thy breasts are better than wine,

2. Smelling sweet of the best ointments. Thy name is as oil poured out: therefore young maidens have loved thee.

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 righteous love thee.

4. I am black but beautiful, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Cedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
