1 The wordes of king Lamuel, and the lesson that his mother taught him. 2 What my sonne? what the sonne of my body? and what O my deare beloued sonne? 3 Geue not ouer thy strength & wayes vnto women, which are the destruction euen of kynges. 4 O Lamuel, it is not for kynges, it is not I say for kynges to drynke wine, nor princes strong drynke. 5 Lest they by drnkyng forget the lawe, and peruert the iudgement of all poore mens children. Proverbs 31:1-5, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
