Excerpt from The Song of Songs: Commonly Called the Song of Solomon, or the Canticle We do not stop to refute it. Perhaps too many of its partizans have never taken the trouble to examine in detail, the consequences which follow from any attempt to apply it to the text of the book.

We content ourselves, in all confidence, with such reasoning as may apply to our religious and moral sense.
