6 O that his left hand were under my head
and that his right hand embraced me!(A)
7 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or the wild does:
do not stir up or awaken love
until it is ready!(B)

6 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]
