Mi sone, kepe thou my wordis; and kepe myn heestis to thee. Sone, onoure thou the Lord, and thou schalt be `myyti; but outakun hym drede thou not an alien.
Kepe thou myn heestis, and thou schalt lyue; and my lawe as the appil of thin iyen.
Bynde thou it in thi fyngris; write thou it in the tablis of thin herte.
Seie thou to wisdom, Thou art my sistir; and clepe thou prudence thi frendesse.
5 ၅ သို့ပြုလျှင်သူတို့သည် အမျိုးပျက်သောမိန်းမ၊ နှုတ်နှင့် ချော့မော့တတ်သော ပြည်တန်ဆာမိန်းမလက်မှ သင့်ကို ကယ်တင်ကြလိမ့်မည်။
That it kepe thee fro a straunge womman; and fro an alien womman, that makith hir wordis swete.
For whi fro the wyndow of myn hous bi the latijs Y bihelde; and Y se litle children.
I biholde a yong man coward,
that passith bi the stretis, bisidis the corner; and he
goith niy the weie of hir hous in derk tyme, whanne the dai drawith to niyt, in the derknessis and myst of the nyyt.
And lo! a womman, maad redi with ournement of an hoore to disseyue soulis, meetith hym, and sche is a ianglere, and goynge about,
and vnpacient of reste, and mai not stonde in the hous with hir feet;
and now without forth, now in stretis, now bisidis corneris sche `aspieth.
And sche takith, and kissith the yong man; and flaterith with wowynge cheer, and seith, Y ouyte sacrifices for heelthe;
to dai Y haue yolde my vowis.
Therfor Y yede out in to thi meetyng, and Y desiride to se thee; and Y haue founde thee.
Y haue maad my bed with coordis, Y haue arayed with tapetis peyntid of Egipt;
Y haue bispreynt my bed with myrre, and aloes, and canel.
Come thou, be we fillid with tetis, and vse we collyngis that ben coueitid; til the dai bigynne to be cleer.
For myn hosebonde is not in his hows; he is goon a ful long weie.
He took with hym a bagge of money; he schal turne ayen in to his hous in the dai of ful moone.
Sche boonde hym with many wordis; and sche drow forth hym with flateryngis of lippis.

til an arowe perse his mawe. As if a brid hastith to the snare; and woot not, that it is don of the perel of his lijf.
Now therfor, my sone, here thou me; and perseyue the wordis of my mouth.
Lest thi soule be drawun awei in the weies of hir; nether be thou disseyued in the pathis of hir.
For sche castide doun many woundid men; and alle strongeste men weren slayn of hir.
