A Plea for Undisturbed Love
Song of Solomon 3:5
Showing verse 5 with surrounding context.
2
--Pray, let me rise, and go round the city, In the streets and in the broad places, I seek him whom my soul hath loved! --I sought him, and I found him not.
3
The watchmen have found me, (Who are going round about the city), `Him whom my soul have loved saw ye?'
4
But a little I passed on from them, Till I found him whom my soul hath loved! I seized him, and let him not go, Till I brought him in unto the house of my mother--And the chamber of her that conceived me.
5
I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!
6
Who is this coming up from the wilderness, Like palm-trees of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, From every powder of the merchant?
7
Lo, his couch, that is Solomon's, Sixty mighty ones are around it, Of the mighty of Israel,
8
All of them holding sword, taught of battle, Each his sword by his thigh, for fear at night.
