15 Bebe água de tua [própria] cisterna, e das correntes de teu [próprio] poço.

16 Derramar-se-iam por fora tuas fontes, [e] pelas ruas os ribeiros de águas?

17 Sejam somente para ti, e não para os estranhos contigo.

18 Seja bendito o teu manancial, e alegra-te com a mulher de tua juventude.

19 [Seja ela] uma cerva amorosa e gazela graciosa; que os seios dela te fartem em todo tempo; e anda pelo caminho do amor dela continuamente.
