This book is called the Canticle of Canticles, that is to say, the most excellent of all canticles: because it is full of high mysteries, relating to the happy union of Christ and his spouse; which is here begun by love; and is to be eternal in heaven.
The Douay-Rheims Bible
Diligently Compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner A.D. 1749-1752
