RF SOL 3:1 ACT 3. SCENE 1.
(In Jerusalem. The SHEPHERDESS tells the CHORUS why she went out at night to seek her lover.)
SHEPHERDESS.
On my bed I dreamt of him to-night,
He who is beloved of my soul—
I sought him but I could not find;—
RF SOL 3:2 So I rose and am going about—
In the town, in the streets, and the squares,
I sought the beloved of my life,—
I sought him,—but I could not find;—
RF SOL 3:3 I met with the watch on their rounds,
I asked, "Have you seen my soul's love?"
RF SOL 3:4 Soon after I parted from them
I found the beloved of my life!—
I seized him,—would not let him go,
Till I brought to my own mother's home,—
To her chamber from whom I was born!
RF SOL 3:5 I charge you, Jerusalem's daughters,
By the hinds and gazelles of the field,
Not to waken or rouse up my love
Till it pleases himself.
RF SOL 3:6 SCENE 2.
(Jerusalem SOLOMON coming up from the country, and the SHEPHERDESS and her companions watching his advance.)
SHEPHERDESS, on the balcony.
Who is that coming up from the meadows,
Like columns of smoke from the burning of myrrh?
With incense and sweets from afar?
RF SOL 3:7 CHORUS.
Why, that is Solomon's chariot,
With sixty brave warriors around!
RF SOL 3:8 Each one grasps his sword,
Every one knows to fight;
Each has sword on his thigh
Against dangers at night.
RF SOL 3:9 (The CHORUS of girls discuss the appearance of the-cavalcade and tell anecdotes of SOLOMON as he approaches.)
1ST GIRL.
King Solomon made his chariot of Lebanon wood.
RF SOL 3:10 2ND GIRL.
Its pillars of silver are made,
3RD GIRL.
And its panels of gold!
4TH GIRL.
And its cushions are purple!
Its carpet is broidered with lace,
Made by Jerusalem's girls!
RF SOL 3:11 SCENE 3.
A CHORUS of women who are going out to meet SOLOMON and his train, singing—
Come out, you daughters of Zion, to look
At King Solomon wearing the wreath
That his mother had woven for him,
For the day he was wed,—
For the day of the joy of his heart.
