When I was young single and free,
An angelic voice said wise words to me.

"My son, listen to the advise of your dad.
And do not forsake the advise of your mother."

"As a ring of gold in a swine's snout,
So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion."

"why should you, my son, be enraptured
by an immoral woman; and be embraced
in the arms of a seductress?'

"By means of a harlot a man is reduced
To a crust of bread, and the seductress
will prey upon his precious life."

"The lips of an immoral woman drip honey;
and her mouth is smother than oil."

"But in the end she is bitter as wormwood;
sharp as a two edged sword."

"Her feet go down to death; her steps
lay hold of hell."

"Therefore remove your way far from her.
Lest you give your honor to others;
and your years to the evil one."

"Let your fountains be blessed and rejoice
with the wife of your youth."

"As a loving dear and a graceful doe
let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
and always be enraptured with her love."
