A Lady
“Mendicants, when a lady has five factors she is extremely undesirable to a man.
What five?
She’s not attractive, wealthy, or ethical; she’s idle, and she doesn’t beget children.
When a lady has these five factors she is extremely undesirable to a man.
When a lady has five factors she is extremely desirable to a man.
What five?
She’s attractive, wealthy, and ethical; she’s deft and tireless, and she begets children.
When a lady has these five factors she is extremely desirable to a man.”
