22 Sodainly he folowed her, as it were an oxe led to the slaughter, and lyke as it were a foole that laugheth when he goeth to the stockes to be punished,

23 So long tyll she had wounded his lyuer with her dart: lyke as if a byrde hasted to the snare, not knowing that the perill of his life lieth thervpon.

24 Heare me now therfore O my chylde, and marke the wordes of my mouth:

25 Let not thyne heart wander in her wayes, and be not thou deceaued in her pathes.

26 For many one hath she wounded and cast downe, yea many a strong man hath ben slaine by the meanes of her.

27 Her house is the way vnto hell, and bryng men downe into the chaumbers of death.
