Chap. VII.
He further exhorteth youngmen to seke wisdom, 5. especially to flee from the
intisements of harlots, largely describing the same, 22. and the ruine of
them that are so deluded.
1 My sonne, note keepe my wordes, and my preceptes hide
with thee. Sonne,
2 keepe my commandmentes, and
thou shalt liue: and my law as the apple of thine eie:
3 binde
it on thy fingers, write it in the tables of thy hart.
4 Say to
wisdom, thou art my sister: & cal prudence thy freind,
5 that
she may keepe thee from the strange woman, and from the
forenrer which maketh her wordes sweete.
6 For out of the
window of my house I looked out through the lattise,
7 and
-- --
I see litle ones, I behold a foolish youngman,
8 which passeth
through the streates by the corner, and goeth nigh the way
of her house,
9 in the darke the day being toward euening,
in the darkenes of the night, and dimnes,
10 And behold
the woman meeteth him in harlotes atyre, prepared to deceiue
soules: babling and wandering,
11 impatient of rest, nor
able to consist in the house on her feete,
12 now abrode,
now in the streates, now lying in wayte neere the corners.
13 And taking the youngman she kisseth him, and with malepert
countenance speaketh fayre, saying:
14 I vowed victimes
for welfare, this day I haue payed my vowes.
15 Therfore
I am come forth to meete thee, desirous to see thee, and I
haue found thee.
16 I haue wouen my bed with cordes,
I haue adorned it with tapestrie pictured out of Ægypt.
17 I
haue sprinkled my bed with myrrhe, aloes, and cinamome.
18 Come let vs be inebriated with brestes, and let vs enioy
desired embracings, til the day appeare.
19 For my husband is
not at home, he is gone a very long iourney.
20 he caried with
him a bagge of money: in the day of the ful moone he wil
returne to his house.
21 She intangled him with many wordes,
and with flatterie of lippes drewe him.
22 Immediatly he foloweth
her note as an oxe led to be a victime, & as a lambe playing
the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawen as a foole to
bondes,
23 til the arow pearse his liuer: as if a birde should
make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is
in danger.
24 Now therfore my sonne, heare me, and attend
to the wordes of my mouth.
25 Let not thy mind be drawen
away in her wayes: neither be thou deceiued with her pathes.
26 For she hath cast downe manie wounded, and al the most
strong are slaine by her.
27 Her house the wayes of hel, penetrating
to the inner partes of death.
