Cantitum canticorum spiritualis quaedam sanctarum est voluptas
mentium, in conjugio illius regis & reginae civiitatis, quod est Christus &
ecclesia; sed haec voluptas allegoricis tegminibus involuta est, ut
desideretur ardentius, nudeturque jucundius, & appareat sponsus, cui
dicitur in codem cantico, aequitas dilexit te, & sponsa quae ibi audit,
charitas in deliciis tuis. AUG. de Civ. Dei, 1. 17. c. 20.
