By making this woman my friend I shall gain the object of some friend of mine, or shall be able to effect the ruin of some enemy, or shall accomplish some other difficult purpose.
Or thus:-- (_f_).

By being united with this woman, I shall kill her husband, and so obtain his vast riches which I covet.
Or thus:-- (_g_).

The union of this woman with me is not attended with any danger, and will bring me wealth, of which, on account of my poverty and inability to support myself, I am very much in need.

I shall, therefore, obtain her vast riches in this way without any difficulty.
Or thus:-- (_h_).

This woman loves me ardently, and knows all my weak points, if therefore, I am unwilling to be united with her, she will make my faults public, and thus tarnish my character and reputation.
