My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Ver. 1. My son, forget not.] We should be able to say to wisdom, as Coenis did to her Lady Antonia, Frustra, domina, iussisti: haec enim atque caetera omnia quae mihi imperas, ira semper in memoria habeo ut ex ea deleri non possint. a You need not, madam, bid me do your business, for I so remember your commands, as I need never be minded of them.
Iussa sequi tam velle mihi, quam posse, necesse est,
I am ready, to my power, to do your pleasure.
But let thine heart keep.] As the ark kept the two tables; as the pot kept the hidden manna.
a Dio, in Respons.
