She is a good woman and a true, one to whom you will do well to hearken.

To the lady Amada also, and bid her study her beauteous face in a mirror and not be holy overmuch, since too great holiness often thwarts itself and ends in trouble for the unholy flesh.

Still she loves pearls like other women, does she not, and even the statue of Isis likes to be adorned.

As for you, Bes, though I think that is not your name, do not lie except when you are obliged, for jugglers who play with too many knives are apt to cut their fingers.

Also give no more evil counsel to your Master on matters that have to do with woman.
