Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; We cannot know Christ thoroughly unless we leave off knowing the world.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: We were thinking of his beauty. But see: when once we see the beauty of Christ, Christ puts a beauty upon us; and when we learn the beauties of Christ, we soon see beauties in his Church.

Even the rich among the...

The King's daughter [is] all glorious within,....

The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework,....
