“Letchildren that would fear the Lord,Hear what their teachers say;With reverence mark their parents’ word,And with delight obey.“Have you not heard what dreadful plaguesAre threaten’d by the LordTo him that breaks his father’s laws,Or mocks his mother’s word?“What heavy guilt upon him lies!How cursed is his name!The ravens shall pick out his eyes,And eagles eat the same.“But those that worship God, and giveTheir parents honor due,Here on this earth they long shall live,And live hereafter too.”
