Four Things Of Intrigue

18 There be three things too high for me, and as for the fourth, it passeth my knowledge. 19 The way of an Eagle in the air, the way of a serpent over a stone, the way of a ship in the sea, and the way of a man with a young woman. 20 Such is the way also of a wife that breaketh wedlock, which wipeth her mouth like as when she hath eaten, and sayeth, "As for me, I have done no harm."
