A whore may be very comely, but we must not esteem her as a housewife. The proper and improper have their own spheres; virtue is worth something, ostentation nothing. Without bravery, on the mere ground of his motions, no one is placed among the brave. Tuka says, Assumptions may fill the belly, but you will not produce results, unless you finish every step of the toil.
