23 Nevertheless, it was an harassing task and full of peril; wherefore the glory of their triumph, it did shed a light upon their name that shall last for ever more.
24 ¶ Now whensoever it happened that a fighter, being of a land afar off, did come unto the city of Lon, then would the damsels make them ready for to greet him.
25 And they would put on their chief raiment, and they would go down unto the gates of the city for to meet him; and they would show their teeth at him, and would allure him with sundry blandishments.
26 And they would get him amongst them, and would take him on one side. And they would speak unto him, with subtil words. And each of them would strive to entice him unto her way.
27 ¶ And after he had sorted them out, the one from the other, the wheat from the chaff, and the corn from the tares, then would he go forth with her.
28 And she would be a guide unto him, and a friend also. And she would show him things and would whisper in his ear.
29 And she would speak unto him concerning his own land, being a country whither she was for a long time back inclined.
30 And she would look at him in a certain way; yea, notwithstanding that he needed not a spur, nevertheless, she would urge him with her eyes. And because he had chosen her above all the others, therefore would he caress her.
31 ¶ And after that he had caressed her to her liking, so that her soul cried out for more, then would she seek for to gather him in.
32 And she would speak unto him concerning her points and concerning the things that she could do. Yea, she would fill her mouth with lies, seeking to make herself perfect.
