Youthful Folly 63 象曰:'A woman (such as is here represented) should not be taken in marriage:'--her conduct is not agreeable to what is right.
彖曰:Youthful Folly has success. It is not I who seek the young fool; The young fool seeks me. At the first oracle I inform him. If he asks two or three times, it is importunity. If he importunes, I give him no information. Perseverance furthers.

某貴顯當維新前脫藩,而與諸藩浪士交,共倡大義,奔馳東西,偶歸鄉里,遂為藩吏所忌。親族多疏散,以致妻女亦不善遇,正如蘇秦歸來,裘敞金盡,妻不下機,嫂不為炊時也。既而維新之世,仕升顯職,設邸東京,招致家族,彼糟糠之妻,性質樸野,容貌動止,多不適意。加以前日疏己之嫌,遂去之,外狎一婦,情好最密,謀納為妻。一日來謂曰:「予將娶妻,請占其良否?」筮得蒙之蠱。

蒙者,物之蒙昧而未發達之稱,為幼稚之義。然非專指「童蒙」,凡人無道義之教者,總謂之蒙。

今足下欲娶情婦,占得此爻,《爻辭》曰「見金夫,不有躬」,此女必有淫行,想是藝妓之女。「金夫」者,謂將以金贖其躬矣。恐品格不正,難諧永好。

此女以一時之舉動,投足下之意,足下將欲娶之,若娶此女,後來恐別生葛藤,繫累不絕,其有悔必也。

足下閥閱家風,素守清白,如娶藝妓,必不適堂上之意,而彼婦暫時忍耐,未必能永守清規,足下即不去之,彼也將下堂求去也。

某不用余言,納之,後果如此占。
