Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 14. Flee. The Church consents that her beloved should ascend to heaven, as he still remains with her. Ven. Bede. Saint Bernard ser. ix. Qui habitat. Calmet.—The whole Church militant requests that he would ascend thither, for the good of all his servants, begging for an abundant supply of grace, that we may ascend the high mountains of perfect charity, and zeal for God’s honour; and that eh would make our souls such hills and gardens, adorned with all the flowers and fruits of virtue, in which he may vouchsafe to dwell. Amen. Worthington.—Flee to heaven, and draw me with thee. Calmet. 1:4. Menochius.
