Wish to be placed in heaven?

The virtuous men of household, firm in way of good, sustain
The three openly declared relations, they should maintain
To saints, to poor and to ancestors in clay
The virtuous men of household, be helpful and stay
To the manes, gods, guests, relatives and self in due degree
These five to cherish well, is the chief charity
Sharing his meal with others, all guilt he shuns
His virtuous line remain unbroken, though the ages runs
If in his household love and virtue reign
This is of life, that gives perfect grace and gain
A virtue in active household, a man cannot retain
What fruit from other modes, as virtue can he gain?
If in nature`s way he spends his calm domestic days
Amid all striving for virtue`s crown, has foremost place
For virtues set by others in their way, and if he never declines
And even bears stern domestic pains, such life brighter shines
This domestic life rightly bears true virtue`s name
That other too, if found blameless due praise may claim
If he spends domestic life, by household virtues graced
Shall amidst the gods who dwell in heaven, be placed.
