By night on my bed

2 I said, I will rise now, and go about the city;

3 The watchmen that go about the city found me;

4 It was but a little that I passed from them,

5 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,

6 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness

7 Behold, it is the litter of Solomon;

8 They all handle the sword, and are expert in war:

9 King Solomon made himself a palanquin

10 He made the pillars thereof of silver,

11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon,
