Now is she without, now in the streets, and lurketh in every corner. She caught the young man, kissed him, and was not ashamed, saying, "I had a vow to pay, and this day I perform it. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, that I might seek thy face, and so I have found thee. I have decked my bed with coverings and clothes of Egypt.

Hear me now therefore, O my son, and mark the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart wander in her ways, and be thou not deceived in her paths. For many a one hath she wounded and cast down, yea many a strong man hath she slain. Her houses are the way to hell, where men go down into the chambers of death.
