And 'tis not sure so full a benefit Freely to give as freely to require. A bounteous act hath glory following it, They cause the glory that the act desire. - [Benevolence] But if for wrongs we needs revenge must have, Then be our vengeance of the noblest kind: Do we his body from our fury save, And let our hate prevail against his mind? What can 'gainst him a greater vengeance be, Than make his foe more worthy far than he. - [Revenge] The fairest action of our human life Is scorning to revenge an injury; For who forgives without a further strife, His adversary's heart to him doth tie: And 'tis a firmer conquest, truly said, To win the heart than overthrow the head. - Chorus from "Maxiam" [Forgiveness] Oh, how you wrong our friendship, valiant youth. With friends there is not such a word as debt: Where amity is ty'd with band of truth, All benefits are there in common set. - Marian [Friendship]
