First Line: Honour thy parents to prolong thine end
Last Line: Shall have a child that will revenge the deed.
Subject(s): Parents; Truth; Parenthood
Honour thy parents to prolong thine end,
With them, though for a truth, do not contend.
Though all should truth defend, do thou lose rather
The truth awhile, than lose their loves for ever.
Whoever makes his father's heart to bleed,
Shall have a child that will revenge the deed.
