71. And if the flesh has seen the flame, let us
not cherish that flame in our bosoms, that is, in the depths of the
heart and the inward part of the mind. Let us not instil this
fire into our bones, let us not bind bonds upon ourselves, let us not
join in conversation with such as may be the cause to us of unholy
fires. The speech of a maiden is a snare to a youth, the words of
a youth are the bonds of love.
