6. From the window of my house,I once happened to see
7. some foolish young men.
8. It was late in the evening,some time after dark.
9. One of these young menturned the cornerand was walking by the houseof an unfaithful wife.
10. She was dressed uplike a woman of the streetwith only one thing in mind.
11. She was one of those womenwho are loud and restlessand never stay at home,
12. who walk street after street,waiting to trap a man.
13. She grabbed him and kissed him,and with no sense of shame,she said:
14. “I had to offer a sacrifice,and there is enough meatleft over for a feast.
15. So I came looking for you,and here you are!
16. The sheets on my bedare bright-coloured clothfrom Egypt.
17. And I have covered itwith perfume made of myrrh,aloes, and cinnamon.
18. “Let's go thereand make love all night.
