¹⁷ These things are yours alone
    and shouldn’t be shared with strangers.
¹⁸ ·Be happy with the wife you married when you were young [^LRejoice in the wife of your youth].
    ·She gives you joy, as your fountain gives you water [^LMay your spring be blessed].
¹⁹ She is a lovely deer and a graceful doe.
    Let her ·love [or breasts] always make you happy;
    let her love always ·hold you captive [intoxicate/inebriate you; Song 4:10].
