In context
6His left hand shall be under my head, And his right hand shall embrace me.
7I have charged you, ye daughters of Jerusalem, By the powers and by the virtues of the field, That ye do not rouse or wake my love, until he please.
— Song of Solomon 2:8 —
9My kinsman is like a roe Or a young hart on the mountains of Bethel: Behold, he is behind our wall, Looking through the windows, Peeping through the lattices.
10My kinsman answers, and says to me, Rise up, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove.
