Adjuration Refrain
5 I adjure you, O maidens of Jerusalem,[a]
by the gazelles or by the does of the field,
do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases![b]
Royal Wedding Procession
6 What is this coming up from the desert
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense
from all the fragrant powders of the merchant?
7 Look! It is Solomon’s portable couch![c]
Sixty mighty men surround it,[d]
the mighty men of Israel.
