Charles Ellicott Commentary Song Of Solomon 8:14

"Make haste, my beloved, And be thou like to a roe or to a young hart Upon the mountains of spices." — Song Of Solomon 8:14 (ASV)

Make haste, my beloved. —Song of Solomon 8:14 recalls the answer made at last to the sighs. It repeats the metaphor of Song of Solomon 2:17, where we see that the Authorised Version, make haste, is more correct than the margin. Thus the poem ends with two short verses that compress into them all that has been over and over again related through different figures: the wooing and the wedding of two happy souls.
