LOL.  I used to have a set of Benson's Commentaries - the set my dad used in seminary.  (He was ordained in the Wesleyan Methodist denom) My brother Wayne now has them.  They were first published in England about 1860, and the Preface to the Song of Solomon was very telling.  It was said EVERYTHING in this book MUST be taken as allegory of Christ and the church.  To take it literally (i.e. talking about married sex) was unthinkable and sinful.
