Song of Solomon 6:8 Context
6Thy teeth are as a flocke of sheepe which goe vp from the washing, wherof euery one beareth twinnes, and there is not one barren among them. 7As a piece of a pomegranat are thy temples within thy lockes. 8There are threescore Queenes, and fourescore concubines, and virgins without number. 9My doue, my vndefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her: The daughters sawe her, and blessed her; yea the Queenes and the concubins, and they praysed her. 10¶ Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, faire as the moone, cleare as the sunne, and terrible as an armie with banners?

Wesley's Notes for Song of Solomon 6:8
6:8 Threescore - A certain number for an uncertain. The sense seems to be this, there are many beautiful queens and concubines in the world, in the courts of princes, but none of them is to be compared with my spouse.
