How many a fool has gained wealth after destitution,
How many an ignorant man has gained wealth after destitution,
and from it found himself enticed into sin.
and from it came an enticement for him to sin!

The world unveiled herself to him in all her finery
The world did not reveal itself to him in its finery
only as a beauty unveils herself for wantonness.
except as a beautiful woman unveils herself for fornication.
