In odorem unguentorum. In consideratione miraculorum. Introduxit me rex, etc. Sponsa in penetrale sponsi ingressa revertitur ad juvenculas, et nuntiat illis: Introduxit me. Vel, per spem in æternam beatitudinem induxit, pluraliter, pro omnimoda bonorum copia, quasi jam dulcedinem regni cœlestis prælibavi, quæ mihi in cœlis parata sunt, ipso revelante cognovi: moxque ad eum conversa, qui sibi hoc revelat, gratias agit pro beneficiis. Quatuor sunt in domo: porta, ascensus, triclinium, cubiculum. Per portam, fidem: per ascensum, spem: per triclinium charitatem: per cubiculum, ipsam beatitudinem intelligimus. Exsultabimus et lætabimur. Quasi diceret: Non de perceptis muneribus ipsi nos extollimus, sed te: memores per omnia quanta pietate austeritatem legis, gratia fidei evangelicæ mitigare dignatus es: ideo non in nobis, sed in te exsultabimus, quia recti omnes diligunt te, et super omnia diligendum didicerunt. Rursus in penetrale sponsa ingressa, adolescentulæ, dum illius præstolantur adventum, læte concinunt pro sponsæ perfectione. Memores uberum. Et recti diligunt, ad sponsæ commendationem refertur. Memores uberum, etc. Illa quæ major est jam tuorum lacte uberum perfruitur. Nos quoque non quidem diligimus, sed diligemus. Deinde loquuntur ad sponsum, Recti diligunt te. Recti, omnes qui sunt recti corde super omnia te diligunt, nec recti sunt qui tuo amori aliquid præponunt, a quo solo habent quidquid boni habent. Recti diligunt. Frustra se conditorem diligere credunt, qui ejus monita contemnunt. Vere justi, nec actu, nec cogitatu, nec dicto Deum violant.

If men do not put pleasant smelling things on their skin in your culture you could say that the man being spoken of here smells pleasant. Alternate translation: “your colognes—they are good” or “your scented oils—they are good” or “your skin—it is good” or “your body—it is good”

The woman makes a comparison between the man’s reputation (which she refers to as his name) and scented oil that is poured out after which the good smell of the oil spreads as the air moves. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the comparison. Alternate translation: “your reputation spreads more and more like the scent of scented oil which spreads after it has been poured out” or “your reputation spreads more and more like the scent of perfumed oil which spreads after it has been poured out”

maidens

The word translated as marriageable women refers to a young women who is old enough to be married or to a young woman who has recently been married but not yet given birth to a child.
