By a woman’s beauty many have gone astray [And strong ones her victims], and from her loved ones in fire burned.
Wit her husband, do not dine, nor go around with him drunk;
Lest thine heart incline unto her, and by your blood you're pushed into destruction.
Do not abandon an old friend, for the recent one is not his equal.
New wine is like a new friend; & if it ages, maybe you will drink it.
Do not envy a sinner, for you do not know his day of reckoning.
Do not envy the success of the malicious; remember that until death he is not cleansed.
