16 Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,
¹Streams of water in the streets? ‡

17 Let them be only your own,
And not for strangers with you.

19 ^aAs a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be¹ enraptured with her love. ‡

20 For why should you, my son, be enraptured by ^aan immoral woman,
And be embraced in the arms of a seductress? ‡
