Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
The daughters are no longer content to admire, but resolve to lay hold of her fruits, high though these be. The palm stem is bare for a great height, and has its crown of fruit-laden boughs at the summit. It is the symbol of triumphant joy (John 12:13); so hereafter (Revelation 7:9).
breasts— (Isaiah 66:11).
the vine—Jesus Christ (Hosea 14:7, end; John 15:1).
nose—that is, breath; the Holy Ghost breathed into her nostrils by Him, whose "mouth is most sweet" (Song of Solomon 5:16).
apples—citrons, off the tree to which He is likened (Song of Solomon 2:3).
