Her desire to bring Him into her home circle (John 1:41).
who would instruct me—rather, "thou wouldest instruct me," namely, how I might best please thee (Isaiah 11:2-3; Isaiah 50:4; Luke 12:12; John 14:26; John 16:13).
spiced wine—seasoned with aromatic perfumes. Jesus Christ ought to have our choicest gifts. Spices are never introduced in the song in His absence; therefore the time of His return from "the mountain of spices" (Song of Solomon 8:14) is contemplated. The cup of betrothal was given by Him at the last supper; the cup or marriage shall be presented by her at His return (Matthew 26:29). Till then the believer often cannot feel towards, or speak of, Him as he would wish.
