1By night3915 on my bed4904 I sought1245 him whom my soul5315 loveth157: I sought1245 him, but I found4672 him not.
2I will rise6965 now, and go about5437 the city5892 in the streets7784, and in the broad ways7339 I will seek1245 him whom my soul5315 loveth157: I sought1245 him, but I found4672 him not.
3The watchmen8104 that go about5437 the city5892 found4672 me: to whom I said, Saw7200 ye him whom my soul5315 loveth157?
4It was but a little4592 that I passed5674 from them, but I found4672 him whom my soul5315 loveth157: I held270 him, and would not let him go7503, until I had brought935 him into my mother's517 house1004, and into the chamber2315 of her that conceived2029 me.
5I charge7650 you, O ye daughters1323 of Jerusalem3389, by the roes6643, and176 by the hinds355 of the field7704, that ye stir not up5782, nor awake5782 my love160, till he please2654.
6Who is this that cometh5927 out of the wilderness4057 like pillars8490 of smoke6227, perfumed6999 with myrrh4753 and frankincense3828, with all powders81 of the merchant7402?
7Behold his bed4296, which is Solomon's8010; threescore8346 valiant1368 men are about5439 it, of the valiant1368 of Israel3478.
8They all hold270 swords2719, being expert3925 in war4421: every man376 hath his sword2719 upon his thigh3409 because of fear6343 in the night3915.
9King4428 Solomon8010 made6213 himself a chariot668 of the wood6086 of Lebanon3844.
10He made6213 the pillars5982 thereof of silver3701, the bottom7507 thereof of gold2091, the covering4817 of it of purple713, the midst8432 thereof being paved7528 with love160, for the daughters1323 of Jerusalem3389.
11Go forth3318, O ye daughters1323 of Zion6726, and behold7200 king4428 Solomon8010 with the crown5850 wherewith his mother517 crowned5849 him in the day3117 of his espousals2861, and in the day3117 of the gladness8057 of his heart3820.
