Song of Solomon 1:15 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou hast doves' eyes— To conceive the force of this expression, we must not refer it to our common pigeons, but to the large and beautiful eyes of the doves of Syria. They who have seen that fine eastern bird, the carrier-pigeon, will need no commentary on this place. See Brown's Observations.
