About this work

Author: Unknown

5. Hurtful are women, my children; because,

‹ Section 4 Section 6 ›

since

they

have

no

power

or

strength

over

the

man

,

they

act

subtilly

through

outward

guise

how

they

may

draw

him

to

themselves

;

and

whom

they

cannot

overcome

by

strength

,

him

they

overcome

by

craft

.

For

moreover

the

angel

of

God

told

me

concerning

them

,

and

taught

me

that

women

are

overcome

by

the

spirit

of

fornication

more

than

men

,

and

they

devise

in

their

heart

against

men

;

and

by

means

of

their

adornment

they

deceive

first

their

minds

,

and

instil

the

poison

by

the

glance

of

their

eye

,

and

then

they

take

them

captive

by

their

doings

,

for

a

woman

cannot

overcome

a

man

by

force

.
