17As the cleare light is vpon the holy candlesticke: so is the beautie of the face in ripe age. 18As the golden pillars are vpon the sockets of siluer: so are the faire feete with a constant heart. 19My sonne, keepe the flowre of thine age sound: and giue not thy strength to strangers. 20When thou hast gotten a fruitfull possession through all the field: sowe it with thine owne seede, trusting in the goodnesse of thy stocke. 21So thy race which thou leauest shalbe magnified, hauing the confidence of their good descent.
