He who chooses Explanation: Given the age of the text, I think you could work with a construction like this – 'he who says' doesn't give the same idea of decisiveness in English. So, you'd end up with something like 'He who chooses ladies chooses damnation; he who chooses women, misfortune.' (Or pick one term to denote women.) It has a nice weightiness to it, I think.
