10Thy cheekes are comely with rowes of iewels, thy necke with chaines of golde. 11Wee will make thee borders of golde, with studdes of siluer. 12¶ While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth foorth the smell thereof. 13A bundle of myrrhe is my welbeloued vnto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. 14My beloued is vnto me, as a cluster of Camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

Spikenard - The graces of his spirit conferred upon me, here compared to those sweet ointments, which the master of the feast caused to be poured out upon the heads of the guests, #Luke 7:38|, in which ointments, spikenard was a chief ingredient. Sendeth - This denotes the exercise and manifestation of her graces, which is a sweet smelling savour in the nostrils of her husband, and of her companies.
