Listen, O princess! Observe and pay attention! Forget your homeland and your family!Then the king will be attracted by your beauty. After all, he is your master! Submit to him!Rich people from Tyre will seek your favor by bringing a gift.The princess looks absolutely magnificent, decked out in pearls and clothed in a brocade trimmed with gold.In embroidered robes she is escorted to the king. Her attendants, the maidens of honor who follow her, are led before you.They are bubbling with joy as they walk in procession and enter the royal palace.Your sons will carry on the dynasty of your ancestors; you will make them princes throughout the land.

Come out to meet him.’Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.The foolish ones said to the wise,‘ Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’‘ No,’ they replied.‘ There won’t be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then the door was shut.
