Latin
And even if his understanding fail, be considerate with him,
And dishonour him not all the days of his life.
Benevolence to a father shall not be blotted out,
And as a substitute for sins it shall be firmly planted.
In the day of affliction it shall be remembered ‘to thy credit’,
It shall obliterate thine iniquities as heat (disperseth( hoar-frost.
