Charles Spurgeon Commentary Song Of Solomon 1:2-3

"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For thy love is better than wine. Thine oils have a goodly fragrance; Thy name is [as] oil poured forth; Therefore do the virgins love thee." — Song Of Solomon 1:2-3 (ASV)

For your love is better than wine. Because of the savour of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.

There is such a sweetness in the name. It is not like a box of ointment shut up, but like a sweet perfume that fills the room. For the merits of Jesus are so sweet that they perfume heaven itself. It was not on Calvary alone that that sweet ointment was known: it was known in the seventh heaven.
