18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.

19 A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

20 Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?

20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
