Seven times have I despised my soul:
The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain
height.
The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled.
The third time when she was given to choose between the hard
and the easy, and she chose the easy.
The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself
that others also commit wrong.
The fifth time when she forbore for weakness, and attributed
her patience to strength.
The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and
knew not that it was one of her own masks.
And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed
it a virtue.
