In context
33I will not so compassionate my old age, as on my account to break the law of my country.
34I will not belie thee, O law, my instructor! or forsake thee, O beloved self-control.
— 4 Maccabees 5:35 —
36Mouth! thou shalt not pollute my old age, nor the full stature of a perfect life.
37My fathers shall receive me pure, not having quailed before your compulsion, though unto death.
