(Two young courtiers, a guard officer and a functionary in the Ministry of Rites, appeared on the scene. They talked on of the varieties of women)
The guard officer once had a woman who was a model of devotion; but she was violently jealous.
One day I said to her: If you go on doubting me as you have, I will not see you again.
She answered: Maybe this is the time, and then, suddenly, she took my hand and bit my finger.
After parting, he never visited her again, and the woman passed away in sorrow.
