Simple, and hath
not
known
what
.

sat
at the opening
of her house, On a throne

For
she sitteth
at the door
of her house, on a seat
in

To call to
those
passing
by
the
way,
Who are
going
straight
`
on '
their paths.
To call passengers
who go
right
on their ways:
`Who
`
is '
simple ?
let him turn aside
hither .'
And whoso
lacketh
heart
--

Whoso
is simple ,

Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden
bread is pleasant. '

are there ;
and
that
her
guests
are
in the
depths
of hell.
