Maiden's Dream (?): Seeking And Finding

3 The watchmen that go about the city found me, to whom I said: Saw ye not him whom my soul loveth? 4 So when I was a little past them, I found him whom my soul loveth. I have gotten hold upon him, and will not let him go, until I bring him into my mother's house, and in to her chamber that bare me. 5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the Roes, and Hinds of the field, that ye wake not up my love nor touch her, till she be content herself.
