(KJV) Song of Solomon 3¹

⥃The Bride’s Dream

[1] By night² on my bed I sought him whom³ my soul loveth: I sought him, but⁴ I found him not. [2] I will rise⁵ now, and go about the city in the streets⁶, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought⁷ him, but I found him not. [3] The watchmen⁸ that go about the city found me: [to whom I said], Saw⁹ ye him whom my soul loveth? [4] [It was] but¹⁰ a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held¹¹ him, and would not let him go, until I had¹² brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. [5] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.¹³

⥃Solomon Arrives on His Wedding Day

[6] [¶]Who [is] this¹⁴ that cometh out of the wilderness like¹⁵ pillars of smoke, perfumed¹⁶ with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? [7] Behold his bed¹⁷, which [is] Solomon’s; threescore¹⁸ valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel. [8] They all¹⁹ hold swords, [being] expert in war: every man [hath] his sword upon his thigh because²⁰ of fear in the night. [9] King Solomon made himself a chariot²¹ of the wood of Lebanon. [10] He made the pillars thereof [of] silver, the bottom thereof [of] gold, the covering of it [of] purple, the midst²² thereof being paved [with] love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.²³ [11] Go²⁴ forth, O ye²⁵ daughters of Zion, and behold²⁶ king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother²⁷ crowned him in the day of his²⁸ espousals, and in the day of the²⁹ gladness of his heart.
