Proverbs 5:18-20
New American Standard Bible

18 Let your (A)fountain be blessed,
And (B)rejoice in the (C)wife of your youth.
19 Like a loving (D)doe and a graceful mountain goat,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be [a]exhilarated always with her love.
20 For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an [b](E)adulteress,
And embrace the breasts of a (F)foreigner?
