Томас Эркарт (Thomas Urquhart)

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
It willingly, and doth not prove forgetfull;
For with all Mankind it would hardly goe:
If no man could with empty hands be gratefull:
And in what may concerne a benefit,
'Tis th'onely mind refounds, and maketh it.
