[a]I must arise now and [b]go around in the city;
In the (C)streets and in the public squares

I will get up now and go about the city,
    through its streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves.

The watchmen found me
    as they made their rounds in the city.(B)
    “Have you seen the one my heart loves?”
