Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Song of Solomon 1:6

Song of Solomon 1:6. Look not upon me, &c.— Look not down upon me, because I am brown; for the sun hath discoloured me. My mother's children were severe unto me: they made me keeper of the vineyards: mine own vineyard have I not kept. There is a peculiar emphasis in the original of the last clause; mine own vineyard, which is mine, have I not kept.
