Song of Solomon 2:7 Context
5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sicke of loue. 6His left hand is vnder my head, and his right hand doeth imbrace me. 7I charge you, O ye daughters of Ierusalem, by the Roes, and by the hindes of the field, that ye stirre not vp, nor awake my loue, till she please. 8¶ The voice of my beloued! behold! hee commeth leaping vpon the mountaines, skipping vpon the hils. 9My beloued is like a Roe, or a yong Hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh foorth at the windowe, shewing himselfe through the lattesse.

2:7 I charge you - This is spoken by the bride. By the roes - By the example of those creatures, which are pleasant and loving in their carriage towards one another. Nor awake - That you do not disturb nor offend him. 'Till - Never, as this word, until, in such phrases, is commonly used. For neither can sin ever please him, nor can the church bear it that Christ should ever be offended.
