Tell me, O you (A)whom my soul loves,
Where do you (B)shepherd your flock,
Where do you make it (C)lie down at noon?
For why should I be like one who [a]veils herself
Beside the flocks of your (D)companions?”

Solomon and His Bride Extol Each Other

And pasture your young goats
By the dwellings of the shepherds.

            so I don’t wander around with the flocks of your companions.

            and graze your little goats
            by the tents of the shepherds.
