A Description of the Royal Procession

[The chorus of young women]

Who is this young woman coming up from the wilderness
    like clouds of smoke?
        She is perfumed with myrrh and incense
            made from the merchants’ scented powders.
Look! Solomon’s sedan chair![a]
    Sixty soldiers from the army of Israel surround it.
All of them are skilled in using swords,
    experienced in combat.
    Each one has his sword at his side
        and guards against the terrors of the night.
