The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem

He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.
 Sustain me with cakes of raisins,
Refresh me with apples, For I am lovesick.

 His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.
 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.
