Momenta desultoria

Constantijn Huygens

XXVI. IF thou desire the happinesse of thy Soule, the health of thy Body, the prosperity of thy Estate, the preservation of thy credit, converse not with a Harlot: Her eyes run thy reputation in debt; Her lips demand the payment; Her brests arrest thee; Her armes imprison thee; from whence, beleeve it, thou shalt hardly get forth till thou hast either ended the dayes of thy Credit, or pay'd the utmost farthing of thy Estate.
