Song of Solomon 3:5
“I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, etc. If we look at the preceding verses, we will not find in them that the bride reached rest or sleep, but rather that, leaping from the bed, with the greatest effort of searching, she reached the discovery of her beloved. And how now does the same beloved adjure…”

5I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the powers and by the virtues of the field, That ye rouse not nor awake my love, until he please.

3The watchmen who go their rounds in the city found me. I said, Have ye seen him whom my soul loves?
4It was as a little while after I parted from them, That I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and did not let him go, Until I brought him into my mother’s house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.
— Song of Solomon 3:5 —
6Who is this that comes up from the wilderness As pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all powders of the perfumer?
7Behold Solomon’s bed; Sixty mighty men of the mighty ones of Israel are round about it.
