Freue dich des Weibes deiner Jugend.
Sie ist lieblich wie eine Hinde und holdselig wie ein Rehe;
Laß dich ihre Liebe allezeit sätigen und ergetze dich alleweg in ihrer Liebe.

Rejoice with the wife of your youth.
She is as lovely as the deer, and as charming as the fawn;
let her love satisfy you at all times;
and always be ravished with her love.
