6. Do not give yourself to a prostitutelest you lose your inheritance.
7. Do not look around the streets of the cityor wander through its squares.
8. Avert your eyes from a shapely woman;do not gaze upon beauty that is not yours;Through woman’s beauty many have been ruined,for love of it burns like fire.
9. Never recline at table with a married woman,or drink intoxicants with her,Lest your heart be drawn to herand you go down in blood to the grave.
10. Do not abandon old friends;new ones cannot equal them.A new friend is like new wine—when it has aged, you drink it with pleasure.
