The Groom

(A)Swear to me, you daughters of Jerusalem,
By the (B)gazelles or by the does of the field,
That you will not disturb or awaken my love
Until she pleases.”

Solomon’s Wedding Day

The Bride

[a](C)What is this coming up from the wilderness
Like (D)columns of smoke,
Perfumed with (E)myrrh and (F)frankincense,
With all the scented powders of the merchant?

The Chorus

Behold, it is [b]the traveling couch of Solomon;
Sixty warriors around it,
Of the warriors of Israel.
