Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of spices.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 8:14 Go To Song of Songs 8
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Flee. The Church consents that her beloved should ascend to heaven, as he still remains with her. (Ven. Bede; St. Bernard, ser. ix.) Qui habitat. (Calmet)
The whole Church militant requests that he would ascend thither, for the good of all his servants, begging for an abundant supply of grace, that we may ascend the high mountains of perfect charity, and zeal for God's honour; and that he would make our souls such hills and gardens, adorned with all the flowers and fruits of virtue, in which he may vouchsafe to dwell. Amen. (Worthington)
Flee to heaven, and draw me with thee, chap. i. 4. (Menochius)
