"Andrew On Prostitutes"

GARMENTS

Upon a day Beauty and Ugliness met on the shore of a sea. And they said to one
another, "Let us bathe in the sea." 

Then they disrobed and swam in the waters. And after a while Ugliness came back to
shore and garmented himself with the garments of Beauty and walked away. 

And Beauty too came out of the sea, and found not her raiment, and she was too shy to
be naked, therefore she dressed herself with the raiment of Ugliness. And Beauty
walked her way. And to this very day men and women mistake the one for the other. 

Yet some there are who have beheld the face of Beauty, and they know her
notwithstanding her garments. And some there be who know the face of Ugliness, and
the cloth conceals him not from their eyes.
