A Plea for Undisturbed Love
Song of Solomon 3:5
Showing verse 5 with surrounding context.
2
I will rise therefore nowe, and goe about in the citie, by the streetes and by the open places, and wil seeke him that my soule loueth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3
The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
4
When I had past a litle from them, then I found him whom my soule loued: I tooke holde on him and left him not, till I had brought him vnto my mothers house into the chamber of her that conceiued me.
5
I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue vntill she please.
6
Who is shee that commeth vp out of the wildernes like pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrhe and incense, and with all the spices of the marchant?
7
Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
8
They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
