Song of Solomon 2:5
Song of Solomon 2:5
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.
The church being brought into Christ's banqueting-house, or house of wine, and having there such large discoveries of his love, she falls into a deliquium or fainting fit, not being able to bear up under the present enjoyment; and therefore calls to her friends and acquaintance that were about her, to give her their assistance in her present circumstances. In these words may be considered,
I. The church's case and condition in which she was; "sick of love."
II. What relief she asks for. 1st, To be "stayed with flagons," 2dly, To be "comforted with apples."
