³ The watchmen found me
    as they made their rounds in the city.^(A)
    “Have you seen the one my heart loves?”
⁴ Scarcely had I passed them
    when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
    till I had brought him to my mother’s house,^(B)
    to the room of the one who conceived me.^(C)
5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you^(D)
    by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
    until it so desires.^(E)
