1. No two mates, male and female,
Do eyes incline towards,

2. If they draw lots for beauty's prize,
But the scrawny one envies the plump.

3. A mother bearing a babe, and he is her husband,
She struggles to provide for her children.

4. He has from her store what she fed him,
While others, gluttons, eat up their store.

5. He whispers between her breasts a subtle cure,
With profound meaning underneath.

6. If a son disobeys his mother's offspring,
Then his mother's offspring is goodly.
