S.S.|3:1|-|On my bed night after nightI |1|sought |a|him whom my soul loves;
I sought him, but found him not.
S.S.|3:2|-|I will |1a|rise now and go about in the city;In the streets and in the squares
I will seek him whom my soul loves.I sought him, but found him not.
S.S.|3:3|-|The |1a|watchmen who go about in the city found me—Have you seen him whom my soul loves?
S.S.|3:4|-|Scarcely had I passed themWhen I found him whom my soul loves;
I held him and would not let goUntil I had brought him into my |1|mother’s house
And into the |1|chamber of her who conceived me.
S.S.|3:5|-||a|I |1|adjure you, O |b|daughters of Jerusalem,By the gazelles or by the hinds of the fields,
Not to rouse up or awaken my loveUntil she pleases.
S.S.|3:6|-||1|Who is |2|she who comes up from the |a|wildernessLike |b|pillars of smoke,
Perfumed with |c|myrrh and frankincense,With all the fragrant powders of the merchant?
S.S.|3:7|-|There is Solomon’s |1|bed;Sixty mighty men surround it,
Of the mighty men of Israel.
S.S.|3:8|-|All of them wield the sword and are expert in war;Each man has his sword at his thigh
Because of the night alarms.
S.S.|3:9|-|King Solomon made himself a |1|palanquinOf the wood of Lebanon.
S.S.|3:10|-|Its posts he made of silver,Its bottom, of gold;
Its seat, of purple;Its midst was inlaid with love
From the |a|daughters of Jerusalem.
S.S.|3:11|-|Go forth, O |a|daughters of Zion,And |1|look at King Solomon with the |2|crown
With which his mother crowned himOn the day of his |3|espousals,
Yes, on the day of the gladness of his heart.
