הִתְקַדְּשִׁי לִי בְכוֹס זֶה שֶׁל יַיִן, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל דְּבָשׁ. שֶׁל דְּבָשׁ, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל יַיִן. בְּדִינָר זֶה שֶׁל כֶּסֶף, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל זָהָב. שֶׁל זָהָב, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל כֶּסֶף. עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֲנִי עָשִׁיר, וְנִמְצָא עָנִי. עָנִי, וְנִמְצָא עָשִׁיר, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם הִטְעָהּ לְשֶׁבַח, מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת:

(If he said:) "Be betrothed to me for this cup of wine," and it were found to be of honey; of honey, and it were found to be of wine; with this dinar of silver, and it were found to be of gold; of gold, and it were found to be of silver; on condition that I am wealthy, and he were found to be poor; that I am poor, and he were found to be wealthy — she is not betrothed. [For some (women) prefer the one; and others, the other]. R. Shimon says: If he deceived her to her advantage, she is betrothed. [R. Shimon differs only in respect to monetary advantage; but with "pedigree advantage," such as: a Levite, and he were found to be a Cohein, he concedes that even if he deceived her (or she deceived him) to her advantage, she is not betrothed. For his higher pedigree is not necessarily desirable to her, in that it might prompt him to vanity. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon.]
