Matthew Poole and continuators on Song of Solomon 8:7

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned .

It is the nature of Love in general, and of my Love to thee, that it cannot be taken off, neither by Terrors and Afflictions, which are commonly signified in Scripture by waters and floods, Psal. 32. 6. & 42. 7. and elsewhere; nor by temptations and allurements. Nothing but the presence and favour of the beloved person can quiet and satisfie it. And therefore do not put me off with other things, but give me thy self, without whom, and in comparison of whom I despise all other persons and things.
