15
Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
16
Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?
17
Let them be for yourself alone, and not for sharing with strangers.
18
Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19
a lovely deer, a graceful doe. May her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you be intoxicated always by her love.
