22 And when the time came that he was returned unto his habitation, he waxed very wroth with his wife. And he upbraided her soundly because she had lost him amongst the multitude.
23 And she did forget to question him concerning his doings on that night, neither did he vouchsafe her any answer concerning them.
24 ¶ Now whensoever it happened that it was night, then did all the damsels hie them forth into the highways of the city; and their thoughts were of love and their stomachs.
25 And they would make them in the likeness of a maiden forlorn so that the young man, his heart was moved by the sight of their desolation.
26 And he would approach unto them because of their state, and he would make offer of himself for to be a companion unto them and to cheer them on their way.
27 And he would say, Knowest thou whether the warning, it hath been given? And she would make answer unto him and she would say, Thine handmaiden, she is a stranger in the city,
28 Nevertheless, she hath received a warning concerning men, that they be wicked and full of naughtiness. Therefore, get thee hence, lest it come to the ears of my mother about thee.
29 And he would reason with her earnestly and he would entreat her that she should put her trust in him.
30 And when he had pleaded with her long enough, then would she say unto him, Verily, thou hast inclined me towards thee with the blandishments of thy tongue.
31 Now, therefore, let us away, for wheresoever thou goest, there also will I go. And thou shalt do unto me whatsoever seemeth good unto thee.
