y venir a su perfectión, y entonce se saca la miel. Desta manera debes de hacer tú, que ante que llegues a mujer crezcas y embarnezcas y seas perfecto hombre. Y entonce estarás hábil para el casamiento y engendrarás hijos de buen estatura y recios, y ligeros y hermosos, y de buenos rostros. Y tú serás recio y hábil para el trabajo corporal, y serás ligero y recio y diligente. Y si por ventura destempladamente y ante de tiempo te dieres al deleite carnal, en este caso dixéronnos nuestros antepasados que el que así se arroja al deleite carnal queda desmedrado; nunca es perfecto hombre y anda descolorido y desainado. Andarás como cuartanario, descolorido, enflaquecido. Serás como un muchacho mocoso y desvanecido y enfermo, y de presto te harás viejo arrugado. Y cuando te casares, serás así como el que coge miel del maguey, que no mana porque le acogeraron ante de tiempo, y el que chupa para sacar la miel dél no saca nada, y aborrecerle ha, y desecharle ha. Así te hará tu mujer, que como estás ya seco y acabado y no tienes qué darle, dices "no puedo más". Aborrecerte ha y de[secharte]
