Duo igitur ubera, prædicatores de duobus populis, qui oculi dicuntur quia occulta proficiunt. Dentes, quia improbos corrigunt, et in corpus Ecclesiæ trajiciunt: Collum, quia vitalem flatum, æterna gaudia prædicando, ministrant, et cibos doctrinæ. Ubera, quia lac parvulis in Christo infundunt, qui sunt hinnuli capreæ, quia acute, quæ sunt agenda, discernunt, veloci cursu operationis de valle lacrymarum avolant. Gemelli, quia eamdem fidem, eadem sacramenta prædicant: qui ne lac quod erogant in eis deficiat, pascuntur floribus Scripturarum et exemplis sanctorum ea semper recolendo. Duo hinnuli Duo populi, qui per humilitatem parvos se et peccatores intelligunt, sed charitate currentes, omnia obstacula mundi transeunt, et saltibus contemplationis ad superna conscendunt. Qui pascuntur. Quia in his refectionem habent, qui florent virtutibus et splendent, dum ipsum Deum, quem desiderant, adhuc de vicino videre non possunt.

Here, the man compares the woman’s two breasts to two young twin gazelles that are grazing. The context does not explicitly indicate how exactly the woman’s two breasts are like two young gazelles so you could simply say that they resemble young gazelles or if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a general point of comparison between the woman’s breasts and the young gazelles such as their beauty as modeled by the UST.
