⁷ “^[a]I ^(A)adjure you, O ^(B)daughters of Jerusalem,
By the ^(C)gazelles or by the ^(D)hinds of the field,
^(E)That you do not arouse or awaken my love
Until ^[b]she pleases.”

⁹ “My beloved is like a ^(A)gazelle or a ^(B)young ^[a]stag.
Behold, he is standing behind our wall,
He is looking through the windows,
He is peering ^(C)through the lattice.

¹⁷ “^(A)Until ^[a]the cool of the day when the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved, and be like a ^(B)gazelle
Or a young stag ^(C)on the mountains of ^[b]Bether.”
