John Trapp on Proverbs 7:26

Verſ. 26. For ſhee hath caſt down many] That have let in death at thoſe windows of wickedneſs, thoſe loop-holes of luſt, that have dyed of the wound in the eye. Aliorum perditio tua ſit cautio. Seeſt thou another man ſhipwrackt, look well to thy tacklings.

Yea, many ſtrong men have been ſlain by her] The valour of man hath oft been ſlaved by the wyſes of a woman. Witneſs many of your greateſt Martialiſts, who conquered Countries, and were vanquiſhed of vices, being captivarum ſuarum captivi. The Perſian Kings commanded the whole world, and were commanded by their concubines. So was Alexander, Sampſon, Hercules, whom ſome make to bee the ſame with Sampſon.

Lenam non potuit, potuit ſuperare leaenam: Quem fera non potuit vincere, vicit hera.
