As the Old Sang, So Pipe the Young
A Flemish proverb, at the family table.
What
Grandparents sing over the table while the children pipe along, Jordaens’s family concert of 1638 engraved for a later century.
Why
The proverb warns that the young copy the old; Jordaens set it at a table with wine poured for young and old alike.
Notice
The proverb engraved beneath, in the Flemish of the original.
“What we pour, they learn to pour.”
