This poem is given in the Egyptian section of the INDIAN MUSEUM, Kolkata. The beauty of the poem is the type of thoughts that were there even such a long time ago.
THE WISDOM OF ANY
When you are a young man
When you take a wife and set up a home
Remember how your mother brought you into the world
And with what embracing care she nurtured you
Do not let your conduct in the household be too high and mighty
Never lord it on your wife
If you know that she is a gentle hearted woman
Do not say to her “where is so and so? Bring it here!”
When she has put it away carefully in some safe place
Keep her beneath your eyes and watch her silently
In appreciation of her worth
She is contented with your hand rest upon her.
