Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
