For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
