First to immortal God thy duty pay,

Observe thy vow, honour the saints: obey

Thy prince and rulers, nor their laws despise:

Thy parents reverence, and near allies:

Him that is first in virtue make thy friend;

And with observance his kind speech attend:

Nor, to thy power, for light faults cast him by;

Thy power is neighbour to necessity.

These know, and with intentive care pursue;

10But Anger, Sloth, and Luxury subdue.
