Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 37. To a generously disposed Gentleman, who was maine sorrie, that he had not wherewith to remunerat the favours, by the which he was obliged to the curtesie of a friend

YOu have restor'd his kindnesse, if you owe

If no man could with empty hands be gratefull:
And in what may concerne a benefit,
'Tis th'onely mind refounds, and maketh it.
