You don't need to explicitly declare the variables, but if you do, you need to pass the variables, not symbols. Symbols imply variables, and they are created automatically.
In the case of p1, if you want to bind as a URI, you'll need to create a URI as follows:
p1 = RDF::URI.new("http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment")
Or, you can just use the built-in vocabulary:
p1 = RDF::RDFS.comment
You can then construct a query as follows:
result = client.select.where([:herp, p1, :derp]).limit(5)
Or, just skip the p1 variable and use the URI directly:
result = client.select.where([:herp, RDF::RDFS.comment, :derp]).limit(5)
