3.7 En lectulum. Priori amice miranti respondet gentilitas determinans, quo ascendat, quia scilicet ad lectulum, et per quid ascendat, quia scilicet media fercula sunt charitate constrata, et probat se in eamdem sponsi dilectionem accessisse, in qua prior est: quia similiter habet nuptialem apparatum, et prædicatores habet, quos Deus ad nos non misisset, nisi eos præelegisset. En lectulum. Lectulus veri pacifici, æterna beatitudo, in qua rex cum sanctis quiescit, ad quem Ecclesia per desertum partim quotidie pervenit, tandem perfecte perveniet. Vel etiam lectulus Dei est in præsenti quieta conversatio sanctorum. Utrumque lectum ambiunt fortissimi: quia et præsentem quietem, et pacem Ecclesiæ prædicatores contra incursus tuentur, et internam patriæ cœlestis quietem quique perfectiores fixa intentione speculantur. Isræl. Id est vir videns Deum, quo nomine juste vocantur omnes, qui ad divinæ visionis gaudia tendunt. Inter quos fortissimi sunt, qui vel cœlestis dono speculationis sublimantur, vel prædicationis ministerium suscipiunt.
3.7 En lectulum.

Vel also lectulus of_God it_is in præsenti quieta conversatio sanctorum. Utrumque lectum ambiunt fortissimi: because and præsentem quietem, and pacem Ecclesiæ prælet_him_sayores on_the_contrary incursus tuentur, and internam patriæ cœlestis quietem quique perfectiores fixa intentione speculantur. Isræl. That it_is man videns God, quo nomine juste vocantur omnes, who to divinæ visionis gaudia tendunt. Inter which fortissimi are, who or cœlestis dono speculationis sublimantur, or prælet_him_sayionis ministerium suscipiunt.
3:6-11 According to the three-character dramatic interpretation, Solomon’s humility and generosity show in his attending this wedding of a woman who preferred a common shepherd’s love over his. With Solomon in attendance, this ordinary wedding becomes a magnificent ceremony.
• If the Song is an anthology, this poem describes what appears to be Solomon’s wedding procession. People are amazed by the opulence of his carriage and the power represented by his entourage. All of this reflects on the significance of marriage in the same way that expensive and beautiful wedding dresses and tuxedos do in modern marriages.

See how you translated the word Behold in 1:15 where it occurs with the same meaning.
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
מִטָּתוֹ֙
litter,him
A litter was a portable bed or couch used to carry important people from place to place. It was carried by wooden poles that were attached to it. This litter probably had a canopy on top that functioned as a roof and curtains around it that could be opened and closed. If your readers would not be familiar with this term, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “his portable couch”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מִטָּתוֹ֙ שֶׁלִּשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה
litter,him that,of,Solomon
The phrase his litter, which belongs to Solomon could mean: (1) that the woman was riding on the litter which belonged to Solomon and which he had sent for her. The UST models this interpretation. (2) that Solomon himself was riding in the litter. Alternate translation: “Solomon riding in his royal portable chair”
