Forbearance
Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk?
At rich men's tables eaten bread and pulse?
Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust?
And loved so well a high behavior,
In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained,
Nobility more nobly to repay?
O, be my friend, and teach me to be thine!

SvaraRaderaDet var länge sedan jag hörde eller läste ordet fördragsamhet. Lika ovanligt som svårt att leva upp till!
Sköt om dig, och ha fördrag med livet!
