Song of Solomon 2:5 Context
3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloued among the sonnes. I sate downe vnder his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweete to my taste. 4Hee brought me to the banketting house, and his banner ouer mee, was loue. 5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sicke of loue. 6His left hand is vnder my head, and his right hand doeth imbrace me. 7I charge you, O ye daughters of Ierusalem, by the Roes, and by the hindes of the field, that ye stirre not vp, nor awake my loue, till she please.

Wesley's Notes for Song of Solomon 2:5
2:5 Stay me - Or, support me, keep me from fainting. The spouse speaks this to her bride - maids, the daughters of Jerusalem: or to the bridegroom himself. Flaggons - With wine, which is a good cordial. Apples - With odoriferous apples, the smell whereof was grateful to persons ready to faint. By this understand the application of the promises, and the quickening influences of the Spirit.
