Women's Wiles

Eight, Beggars, are the wiles
with which women men begile.
What Eight?

By shape, Beggars, women men begile,
By laughter, Beggars, women men begile,
By fascinating speech, Beggars, women men begile,
By enchanting song, Beggars, women men begile,
By running tears, Beggars, women men begile,
By bedazzling ornament, Beggars, women men begile,
By potions of jungle herb, Beggars, women men begile
By touch, Beggars, women men begile.

These Beggars are the eight wiles with which women men begile.
And, Beggars, beings so ensnared are snared indeed.
