¶ The .v. Chapter.
¶ He warneth to eschue and flee whordome. He forbyddeth
prodigalitie and wastfull spending. He wylleth
vs to liue of oure awne laboures. Men must loue
theyr wyues.
A My sonne, geue hede vnto my wysdome,
and bowe thyne eare vnto
my prudence: that thou mayest regarde
good councel, and that thy
lippes maye kepe knowledge (Applye not thou
thy selfe to the disceatfulnesse of a wom&abar;) note For þe; lyppes
of an harlot are a droppyng hony combe
and her throte is more glisterynge them oyle.
But at the last she is as bytter as wormwod,
and (her tonge) as sharpe as a two edged
swerde. Her fete go downe vnto death
and her steppes pearse thorowe vnto hell.
B Parcha&ubar;se thou dwellynge with her wylt
ponder the path of lyfe? so vnstedfast are her
wayes, þt; thou canst not knowe th&ebar;. Heare
me nowe therfore (O my sonnes) ∧ departe
not fr&obar; the wordes of my mouth. Kepe thy
waye farre from her, and come not nye the
dores of her house. That thou geue not thy
strength vnto other, ∧ thy yeares to þe; cruell.
That other men be not fylled with thy goodes,
and that thy laboures come not in a straunge
house. Yee that thou mourne not at
the last (when thou hast spent thy body and
lusty greane youth) and th&ebar; saye: Alas, why
hated I nourtoure: why did my herte despise
correccion?
C Wherfore was not I obedient
vnto the voyce of my teachers, and herkened
not vnto them that infourmed me? I am come
almost into all misfortune, in the myddest
of the multitude and c&obar;gregacion. &rhand; Drincke
of the water, of thyne awne well and of
þe; ryuers that runne out of thyne awne springes.
&rhand; Let thy welles flowe out abroade,
that there may he ryuers of water in the stretes:
but let th&ebar; be onely thyne awne, and not
stra&ubar;gers with the. Let thy well be blessed
and be glad with the wyfe of thy youth.
D Louinge
is the hynde, and fr&ebar;dly is the Roo: let
her brestes alwaye satisfye the, and holde the
euer cont&ebar;t with her loue. My sonne, why
wylt thou haue pleasure in an harlot, ∧ embrace
the bosome, of another woman? noteFor
euery mans wayes are op&ebar; in the syght of the
Lorde, and he pondreth all theyr goynges.
The wyckednesse of the vngodly shall catch
hymselfe, and with the snares of hys awne
synnes shall he be trapped. He shall dye without
amendement, and for hys greate folyshnesse
he shall go astraye.
