Live joyfully] Heb. see or enjoy life. Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest] Hereby it appears, that Solomon gives counsell to take lawfull content in outward things; and not in the person of an Epicure, exhorting others to unlawfull pleasures; for then would e not have said, Rejoyce with thy wife; but, as elsewhere, Stollen waters are sweet, Proverbs 9:17. See Proverbs 5:18. for that is thy portion in this life] Chap. 2. 24. and 3. 13. and 5. 18.
