Plut. Mor., Laws and Customs of the Lacedaemonians 11 — The Account of the Laws and Customs of the Lacedaemonians, Plutarch; served verbatim
No one durst show himself refractory to their instructions, nor at the least murmur at their reprehensions ; insomuch that, whenever any of their youth had been punished by them for some ill that had been done, and a complaint thereupon made by them to their parents of the severity they had suffered, hoping for some little relief from their indulgence and affection, it was accounted highly dishonorable inthem not to add to their punishment by a fresh correction for the folly and injustice of their complaint. For by the common interest of discipline, and that great care that every one was obliged to take in the education of their youth, they had a fhm trust and assurance in one another, that they never would enjoin their children the performance of any thing that was in the least unnecessary or unbecoming them.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
