Song of Solomon 6:6-7

6, 7. Thy teeth, etc. The King falls into the same forms of speech as the Beloved had used before. (See Song of Solomon 4:2.) Had he overheard? Or had his thought an identity of expression, as it had identity of suggestion, with that of the Beloved? However that might be to his hearer, how different the sound! These words were the words that charmed her ear from the lips of her Beloved, but they lose all music when the voice is the voice of the King. No elocution of his can make these compliments sound as when that other spoke them.
