John Trapp on Proverbs 5:13

Verſ. 13. Nor inclined mine ear] I would not ſo much as hear them, much leſs obey their voice. Intus exiſtens prohibet alienum. The ſongs of thoſe Syrens had ſo enchanted him, that it was paſt time of day to give him counſel. If you ſpeak againſt his ſweet ſin, and diſſwade him from that, hee ſhrinks back into the ſhell, and lets his hood hearken. All that is of Davy Duttons dream, (as the proverb is) and therefore Surdo fabulam, hee will in no wiſe give ear to you.
