Song of Solomon 6:7

A church father on this verse
“What are the cheeks of the church of which the Scripture elsewhere says, "Your cheeks are as the bark of pomegranates"? They are the cheeks on which modesty is accustomed to shine, beauty to sparkle, on which there is either the flower of youth or the distinguished mark of perfect age.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — CONSOLATION ON THE DEATH OF EMPEROR VALENTINIAN 6

In context

5Turn away thine eyes from before me, For they have ravished me: Thy hair is as flocks of goats Which have appeared from Gilead.

6Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn sheep, That have gone up from the washing, All of them bearing twins, And there is none barren among them: Thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely.

— Song of Solomon 6:7 —

8There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, And maidens without number.

9My dove, my perfect one is one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed, Yea, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
