Kural 1258

பன்மாயக் கள்வன் பணிமொழி அன்றோநம்
பெண்மை உடைக்கும் படை.

Penmai Utaikkum Patai

The words of that deceiver, versed in every wily art, Are instruments that break through every guard of woman's heart

Meaning

Are not the enticing words of my trick-abounding roguish lover the weapon that breaks away my feminine firmness?

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
