Song of Solomon 5:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so adjure us? This, of course, is poetic artifice in order to give the opportunity to the bride to enter upon a glowing description of the object of her love.

She wishes to say that he is perfect, everything that he can be.
