How it's used

This is a rare, archaic imperative form of 遇う (to treat). You will likely encounter it only in historical fiction or classical texts, not in modern conversation.

客を遇せよ、しかし深く信ずるな。
Kyaku o guuseyo, shikashi fukaku shinzuru na.
Entertain the guest, but do not trust deeply.

友を遇せよ、されど心を許すな。
Tomo o guuseyo, saredo kokoro o yurusu na.
Treat your friend, but do not let your guard down.

⚖️ Commonly confused with 遇え (a form of 遇う meaning 'to meet'), but 遇せよ specifically means 'treat/entertain'.
