Song of Solomon 7:8 Context
6How faire, and how pleasant art thou, O Loue, for delights! 7This thy stature is like to a palme tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. 8I said, I will goe vp to the palme tree, I will take hold of the boughes thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose, like apples. 9And the roofe of thy mouth like the best wine, for my beloued, that goeth downe sweetely, causing the lippes of those that are asleepe, to speake. 10¶ I am my beloueds, and his desire is towards me.

Wesley's Notes for Song of Solomon 7:8
7:8 I said - Within myself, I resolved. I will - Climb up, that so I may take hold of the boughs, which do not grow out of the sides, as in other trees, but only at the top of it. Take hold - Partly to prune and dress them, and partly to gather the fruit. The smell - Of thy breath; which is often called the breath of a man's nostrils.
