NECESSARY OBSERVATIONS: 2D PRECEPT by THOMAS RANDOLPH

Poet Analysis

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.
