NEW SONG OF SOLOMON.
Recently Discovered and Translated
by Charles Stokes.

In the multitude of living things who
shall compare with woman? She tolls not.
neither has she any fixed principles. and
man she keeps in state Of strange servi-
tude
Man was the first. saith the singer: he
came fresh and uncouth from heaven, but
woman was the finished product.
She knoweth all the lodges. tine birds.
the beasts. the fishes yield her valuable
hints whereby she profiteth 10 mans dis
cCmfture. 7 said in my haste, All women
are to be avoided, not knowing the diff
Guilty.
Woman declsreth an eternal warfare
She will not let man rest. all his peace is
gone when she casteth upon him.
Woe unto him that stitch in the quiet
places with his pipe He has no wish to
be married; his life is complete.
Yet suddenly a woman esDies him-yea.
looks GENEROUSLY at him; at first he may
not tremble, but verify his number is up.
She wsiteth for him in the unexpected
corners of the earth; though he avoid her
yet she waylayeth MINI
In the country lanes where he would
wander. there she is-yea. dark country
lanes. leafy and tempting. especially after
dusk.
He is tempted. he loseth his head: she
iOoketh at him. verify from laughing eyes,
and his balance has gone
He holdeth her hand and thinketh it
heaven; he looks into her eyes. and sees
therein what he thinketh none other man
hath ever beheld. He kisseth her lips-at
first nervously. after the manner of men.
In his heart he bsiieVeth he IoVeth her:
to his bosom companions he boasteth of
it. Peradventure. saith he. I have sub
dued her
Thou fool knowing not womanl
Some day he will take her to a dance.
that he may astOnish HIS friends. He
waltzeth with her lovingly; he stitch out
until seventy times seven.
He fetcheth her ices from the bar; and
yea. when other men VINO oppose him.
hi
words that leadeth not to salvation
Chastisement iuficteth he blndly for he
thinketh himself the only man I'm love. not
knowing woman
And the woman. she stitch demurely; 4
maiden blush bespreadeth her face. She
meekly and humbly Acknowledged his
mastership; but the while she laugheth in
ner sleeve.
In her heart doth she exceedingly re-
joice and her demeanOr to other women
is oveTbearing.
For, saith she in gestures am the salt
Of the earth. ye virgins, that are but
amateurs at the business. look at me and
be We consciously envious- I am a su-
perior person, for, 10, I have caught a
man.
I have humbled a man to his discon-
future; I have beguiled another of our
primal enemies. Ny slightest whim is a
command: my gsntlest hint an order /
twist him round my little finger-yea
with the pinky nails I lead him by the
nose.
Yet. withal. he does not know it. for he
is ignorant. as with men.
He loveth her. To mis- home he bringeth
her and showeth her to his people
In his introduction there is much vaunt-
ing and some pride; he wisheth to i'm
press his mother and his sisters with
his love. not knowing that his mother
and his sisters are. too. women.
And that one generation of women is
like unto the next and the next
Z Toward his sisters he is gentle where
formerly he was rough; ne listeth to
their sOngs-yea. the songs OF violets and
so forth with the air Of d eonnoisseur,
for he beieveth that he has mastered
one woman.
