Something like this:
What do you think, monks? Which is better? Having embraced that
large, burning, blazing, glowing mass of fire, to sit or lie down
with it? Or, having embraced a noblewoman, or a woman of high birth,
or a householder woman, or a woman of tender young hands and feet, to
sit or lie down with her?
