This is, without a doubt, taken from Song of Solomon. In the book Solomon and his lover are saying things back and forth to each other, admiring each others beauty (outer, reflecting inner), etc.
And all those songs mentioned were probably a reference to this song because it's obviously much older.
Beloved [a]
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth–
for your love is more delightful than wine.
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the maidens love you!
4 Take me away with you–let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.
12 While the king was at his table,
my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh
resting between my breasts.
14 My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
from the vineyards of En Gedi.
Lover
15 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes are doves.
Beloved
16 How handsome you are, my lover!
Oh, how charming!
And our bed is verdant.
4 Scarcely had I passed them
when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
till I had brought him to my mother's house,
to the room of the one who conceived me.
There really shouldn't be any further speculation about the meaning of this song. There's a lot more references but for the sake of being courteous, I will not include them. I encourage you to read it as it is possibly the most beautiful love poem ever written. And yes, it's in the Bible.
