27 The bad returnes of ingrate men should not deterre us from being liberall.
Though you ingrate receivers dayly find,Let not their faults make you lesse Noble prove;
It not being, th'action of a gen'rous mind
To give and lose so, as to lose, and give;
For that, a churle may doe, in hope of gaine.
But this partakes of a heroick straine.
