¶ There is an euill which I haue seen vnder the Sun, and it is common among men:

Which yet my soule seeketh, but I finde not: one man among a thousand haue I found, but a woman among all those haue I not found.

This is an euill among all things that are done vnder the Sunne, that there is one euent vnto all: yea also the heart of the sonnes of men is full of euill, and madnesse is in their heart while they liue, and after that they goe to the dead.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet, more then the cry of him that ruleth among fooles.

¶ If thou know not (O thou fairest among women) goe thy way forth by the footsteps of the flocke, and feede thy kiddes beside the shepheards tents.

As the lillie among thornes, so is my loue among the daughters.

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloued among the sonnes. I sate downe vnder his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweete to my taste.

¶ My beloued is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lillies.
