"By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the women? Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers; And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love."
