charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not, nor awake [my] love,
until he please.
(
c) Read (
Solomon
3:5).
8:6 d
Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm: for love [is] strong as

[which hath a] most vehement flame.
(
d) The spouse desires Christ to be joined in
perpetual love with him.

We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our
sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

[am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that

one for the fruit of it was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver.

8:13 Thou that dwellest in the
i
gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it].
