4 Scarcely had I passed by them,
When I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let him go,
Until I had brought him to the ahouse of my mother,
And into the1 chamber of her who conceived me.
When I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let him go,
Until I had brought him to the ahouse of my mother,
And into the1 chamber of her who conceived me.
5 aI1 charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.

6 aWho is this coming out of the wilderness
Like pillars of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?
Like pillars of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?
