Those whose knowledge is made excellent by their (natural) sense will not covet

the trffling delights

of those whose favours are common (to all).
From touch of those who worthless charms, with wanton arts, display,
The men who would their own true good maintain will turn away.
Those who would spread (the fame of) their own goodness will not desire the
shoulders of those,who
rejoice in their accomplishments and bestow their despicable favours (on all who
pay).
Who cherish alien thoughts while folding in their feigned embrace,
These none approach save those devoid of virtue's grace.
Those who are destitute of a perfectly (reformed) mind will covet the shoulders of
those who
embrace (them) while their hearts covet other things.
As demoness who lures to ruin woman's treacherous love
To men devoid of wisdom's searching power will prove.
The wise say that to such as are destitute of discerning sense the embraces of
faithless women are (as
ruinous as those of) the celestail female.
The wanton's tender arm, with gleaming jewels decked,
Is hell, where sink degraded souls of men abject.
The delicate shoulders of prostitutes with excellent jewels are a hell into which are
plunged the
ignorant base.
Women of double minds, strong drink, and dice; to these giv'n o'er,
Are those on whom the light of Fortune shines no more.
Treacherous women, liquor, and gambling are the associates of such as have
forsaken by Fortune.
