Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 8. What sort of benefits one ought to bestow
VVOuld you oblige to you a friend, by giving,
Most cheerfully your favours to acquite:
Give that, which gives content in the receiving:
And when it is received yeelds delight;
For if it faile in either of those two,
It will impaire his thankfulnesse to you.
