Haydock's commentary
Attire. Covered with a veil, (Genesis xxxviii. 15.) though different from that of honest women. (Calmet)
The wanton are commonly the most gaudy; nullarum fere pretiosior cultus est quam quarum pudor vilis est. (St. Cyprian, de Habitu.)
Prepared, &c. Hebrew, "guarded," (Calmet) or "subtle of heart." (Protestants) "who makes the hearts of youths take flight." (Septuagint) (Canticle of Canticles vi. 4.) (Haydock)
