92. Wanton Women

The sweet words of beautifully bangled women who desire
a man's wealth and not his love decree his fall into disgrace. 

Weigh the worth and abandon the company of wanton women
who, weighing their profit, prattle about their virtues. 

A mercenary woman pretends intimate embrace,
but in the darkened room, she caresses a stranger's carcass.

Men seeking spiritual treasures are too worldly wise
to touch tawdry women who treasure only material riches.

Men of innate good sense and acquired wisdom
never touch tramps who shamelessly share their beauty with all.

Desiring to maintain their jubilant goodness, men will not
embrace enticing women who proffer lewd charms to all.

Only men of unchaste mind will lie in the arms of women 
whose hearts chase after other things as they embrace. 

It is said that men devoid of discerning wisdom
succumb to a deceiving damsel's embrace as to a siren's song.

The soft arms of the elegantly bejeweled harlot 
are a murky mire that engulfs wicked, stupid men. 

Two-faced females, besotting brew and addictive dice
befriend the men whom fortune has forsaken.
