第35章 INSCRIPTION FOR MY LITTLE SON$$$$$S SILVER PLATE

When thou dost eat from off this plate, I charge thee be thou temperate;

Unto thine elders at the board Do thou sweet reverence accord;

And, though to dignity inclined, Unto the serving-folk be kind;

Be ever mindful of the poor, Nor turn them hungry from the door;

And unto God, for health and food And all that in thy life is good, Give thou thy heart in gratitude.
