My undefiled is but one The only beloved of my soul, my only spouse. The only one of her mother She is as dear and as precious to me as only children use to be to their parents, and especially to their mothers. The daughters saw her Called virgins, Song of Solomon 6:8. They praised her As more beautiful and worthy than themselves.

8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
