O jakoż są nadobne miłości twoje siostro i oblubienico moja i jakoż są smaczniejsze miłości twe niżli wino, a wonność maści twoich nad wszytki rzeczy wonne.
O jakoż są ucieszne miłości twoje, siostro moja! oblubienico moja! O jako daleko zacniejsze miłości twoje, niż wino, a wonność maści twoich nad wszystkie rzeczy wonne!
Jak cudownie umiesz pieścić, najmilsza, panno młoda, twe pieszczoty są lepsze niż wino! Zapach twoich olejków jest lepszy od najlepszych balsamów.
O, jak słodkie są twoje pieszczoty, moja siostro, ma narzeczono. Twe pieszczoty są daleko rozkoszniejsze od wina, a woń twoich pachnideł niż wszystkie aromaty.
Jakże piękna jest twoja miłość, moja siostro, moja oblubienico! Jak daleko lepsza jest twoja miłość od wina, a woń twoich olejków od wszystkich innych wonności!
Jak piękna jest twoja miłość, moja siostro, oblubienico, o wiele słodsza jest twoja miłość niż wino i droższa woń twoich olejków niż wszystek balsam.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
How fair is thy love, [my] sister, my spouse!.... Of these titles, :-;
:-; and of the love of the church to Christ,
:-; here said to be "fair", lovely and delightful, grateful and acceptable; as it is to Christ, in the several acts and effects of it, and therefore the word is plural, "thy loves" r; being exceeding beautiful in his eye, and extremely well pleasing to him; therefore says, "how fair!" as admiring it, it being hard to say how fair it was; and this appears from the large manifestations of Christ's love to those that love him; and from his causing all things to work together for the good of such; and from his preparing and laying up things, unseen and unheard of, for them;
how much better is thy love than wine! which is saying the same thing of her love to him she says of his to her, Song of Solomon 1:2; her love to Christ is more pleasant, more cheering, and more acceptable to him, than the wine of legal sacrifices, or than all burnt offerings; or than any duty whatever, unless that is the principle from whence it flows,
Mark 12:33;
and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! the same with Christ's ointments, commended Song of Solomon 1:3; namely, the graces of the Spirit, which are in Christ without measure, and from him communicated to his people; and when exercised by them, are very delightful to him, and preferred by him to "all spices": even to all those used in the holy anointing oil, typical of them, Exodus 30:23.
r דודיך "amores tui", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The similes employed refer to the graces of adornment, speech, and gesture, as expressions of inward character and sentiment.
Song of Solomon 4:9
With one of thine eyes - Rather, with one look of thine.
Song of Solomon 4:11
Honeycomb - literally, Thy lips distill a dropping (of pure honey). Compare the marginal references.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 10. How much better is thy love — דדיך dodayich; Hebrew. μαστοισου; Septuagint. Ubera tua; Vulgate. "Thy breasts." And so all the versions, except the Chaldee.
Smell of thine ointments — Perfumes.
