My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding,

that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge.

lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless,

a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.
