¹⁵ Drink water from your own cistern.
Drink running water from your own well.
¹⁶ Why should the water from your springs flow out into the street,
your streams of water into the public squares?
¹⁷ They should be yours, yours alone.
They are not for strangers to share with you.
¹⁸ Let your fountain be blessed.
Obtain your joy from the wife you married in your youth,
¹⁹     who is a loving doe and a graceful deer.
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times.
Always be intoxicated with her love.
