“ The men who touch not her that is another's bride.
Is it asked, "who are those who shall obtain good in this world surrounded by the terror-producing sea ?" Those who touch not the shoulder of her who belongs to another. ”

“ How great soe'er they be, what gain have they of life,
Who, not a whit reflecting, seek a neighbour's wife.
However great one may be, what does it avail if, without at all considering his guilt, he goes unto the wife of another ? ”

“ At least, 'tis good if neighbour's wife he covet not.
Though a man perform no virtuous deeds and commit (every) vice, it will be well if he desire not the womanhood of her who is within the limit (of the house) of another. ”
