Nay, he tells her a third lye, he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web, then my strength will go from me, and this she did also, and his strength remained. But the fourth time he told her truth, saith he, If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like another man: and she caused the seven locks upon his head to be shaved off, and his strength went from him.
