And His banner—The banner under which He fought the good fight of faith.
Over me—And under which I also am enlisted.
Was love—Love of the highest order.
2:5. Stay me—Nerve me for the war.
With flagons—The pure doctrines of the Kingdom.
Comfort me—Strengthen me for the conflict.
With apples—Spiritual food; bread from Heaven.
For I am sick of love—Am lovesick, over-sentimental, dreamy, not sufficiently awake to the fact that true love includes service and sacrifice.
2:6. His left hand—His power as illustrated in the guidance of His people into all necessary Truth.
Is under my head—Directing my mental faculties.
