Her teats fill thee in all time

Thy vein be blessed; and be thou glad with the woman of thy young waxing age. An hind most dearworthy; and an hart calf most acceptable. Her teats fill thee in all time; and delight thou continually in the love of her. My son, why art thou deceived of an alien woman; and art fostered in the bosom of another?
Proverbs 5:18‭-‬20 WBMS: Wycliffe’s Bible with Modern Spelling (Warning: contains uninspired Apocrypha)
