ON THE DUTIES OF YOUNGER BROTHERS.
Disparity in years is ordered by Heaven;
Duty to seniors consists in respect.
When younger brothers obey Heaven's dictates,
Happiness and honour will be their portion.
ON THE DUTIES OF ELDER SISTERS.
Elder sisters, instruct your younger sisters,
Study improvement and fit yourselves for Heaven.
Should you occasionally visit your former homes,
Get the little ones around you and tell them what is right.
ON THE DUTIES OF YOUNGER SISTERS.
Girls, obey your elder brothers and sisters,
Be obliging and avoid arrogance,
Carefully give yourselves to self-improvement,
And mind and keep the Ten Commandments.
ON THE DUTIES OF HUSBANDS.
Unbending firmness is natural to the man,
Love for a wife should be qualified by prudence;
And should the lioness roar,
Let not terror fill the mind.
ON THE DUTIES OF WIVES.
