King Alfred of England

CHAPTER XII
16/17

I pray thee, my dear child, to be a father to thy people.

Be the children's father and the widow's friend.

Comfort the poor, protect and shelter the weak, and, with all thy might, right that which is wrong.

And, my son, govern _thyself_ by _law_.

Then shall the Lord love thee, and God himself shall be thy reward.
