35. I will not put you to shame, O philosopher Reason; or deny you, O honored priesthood, and science of the law.
36. Mouth! you shall not pollute my old age, nor the full stature of a perfect life.
37. My fathers shall receive me pure, not having quailed before your compulsion, though to death.
38. For over the ungodly you shall tyrannize; but you shall not lord it over my thoughts about religion, either by your arguments, or through deeds.
