Song of Solomon 5:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ Making their rounds in the city
    the sentinels found me;
they beat me, they wounded me,
    they took away my mantle,
    those sentinels of the walls.
⁸ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
    if you find my beloved,
tell him this:
    I am faint with love.

⁹ What is your beloved more than another beloved,
    O fairest among women?
What is your beloved more than another beloved,
    that you thus adjure us?
