The woman addresses the daughters of Jerusalem four times throughout this book, creating a refrain that ties her "songs" together (2:7; 3:5; 5:8; 8:4). She urges them not to "stir up or awaken love until it pleases." In other words, they should wait until the appropriate time to enjoy romantic love.
