—Now, therefore, if I’m odious to you, son,

Because I’m not subservient to your humor

In all things, right or wrong; away with care!

Spend, squander, and do what you will!—but if,

In those affairs where youth has made you blind,

Eager, and thoughtless, you will suffer me

To counsel and correct—and in due season

Indulge you—I am at your service.

Æsch. Father,

In all things we submit ourselves to you.
