  1. 15Drink water out of your own cistern,
    running water out of your own well.

    streams of water in the public squares?
  3. 17Let them be for yourself alone,
    not for strangers with you.

    Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

    let her breasts satisfy you at all times.
    Be captivated always with her love.
