Translation:Mishnah/Seder Nashim/Tractate Nedarim/Chapter 9/10

"Konam[I vow] that I do not marry ugly So-and-So," and she is good looking; "dark," and she is fair; "short," and she is tall - he is permitted to [marry] her [and is released from the vow]. Not because she is ugly and became good looking, dark and became fair, short and became tall, but because the vow was made in error. And it happened that a man took a vow not to derive benefit from his sister's daughter, and they brought her to the house of Rabbi Yishmael, and made her beautiful. Rabbi Yishmael said to him, "My son! Regarding this one did you take a vow?" He said to him, "No!" And Rabbi Yishmael released him. At the same time Rabbi Yishmael wept, and said, The daughters of Israel are beautiful, but poverty makes them ugly. And when Rabbi Yishmael died, the daughters of Israel raised a lament, and said, "Daughters of Israel, weep over Rabbi Yishmael." It is similarly said of Saul, "You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul" (II Sam. 1:24).
