I would lead you and bring you
    into the house of my mother,
    and into the chamber of her that conceived me.[a]
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
    the juice of my pomegranates.

    and that his right hand embraced me!
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
    that you stir not up nor awaken love
    until it please.
