His (A)left hand is under my head,
    and his right hand (B)embraces me!
I (C)adjure you,[a] O (D)daughters of Jerusalem,
    by (E)the gazelles or the does of the field,
that you not stir up or awaken love
    until it pleases.

  1. Song of Solomon 2:7 That is, I put you on oath; so throughout the Song

I wish that his left hand were under my head,
    and that his right hand were embracing me!

    by the gazelles or by the does of the field,
that you won’t awaken or arouse love
    before its proper time![a]
