recite the following verse: May there be in me splendour, strength, glory, wealth, virtue.'
She is the best of women whose garments are pure1. Therefore let him approach a woman whose garments are pure, and whose fame is pure, and

7. If she do not give in2, let him, as he likes, bribe her (with presents). And if she then do not give in, let him, as he likes, beat her with a stick or with his hand, and overcome her3, saying: 'With manly strength and glory I take away thy glory,'-and thus she becomes unglorious *.
8. If she give in, he says: 'With manly strength and glory I give thee glory,'-and thus they both become glorious.
