Come then, put away your sword in its sheath, and let us two go up into my bed so that, lying together in the bed of love, we may then have faith and trust in each other.

About This Quote

Come then, put away your sword in its sheath, and let us two go up into my bed so that, lying together in the bed of love, we may then have faith and trust in each other. A man who has no wife is like a city wall without gates. Wiser men than I have said it before, so let me say it again: “A man who has no wife is like a city wall without gates.” The great secret of life is knowing how to enjoy life without suffering. Come then, put away your sword in its sheath.

And if you cannot do that, then come to me whatever may be your name or status or social position or your position at court. Let us two go up into my bed so that, lying together in the bed of love, we may then have faith and trust in each other.
