Song of Solomon 7:5 Context
3Thy two breasts are like two yong Roes that are twinnes. 4Thy necke is as a towre of yuory: thine eyes like the fish pooles in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the towre of Lebanon, which looketh toward Damascus. 5Thine head vpon thee is like Carmel, and the haire of thine head like purple, the king is held in the galleries. 6How faire, and how pleasant art thou, O Loue, for delights! 7This thy stature is like to a palme tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

Wesley's Notes for Song of Solomon 7:5
7:5 Carmel - Eminent and pleasant to the eye, and fruitful as mount Carmel was. Which may denote that her mind was replenished with knowledge, and other excellent gifts of the Holy Ghost. Purple - Which colour was anciently much esteemed. Is held - In which he walks, and having once espied thee, is unable to take off his eyes from thee.
