Rh Without a false humility;

For this is Love's nobility,—

Not to scatter bread and gold,

Goods and raiment bought and sold;

But to hold fast his simple sense,

And speak the speech of innocence,

And with hand, and body, and blood,

To make his bosom-counsel good.

For he that feeds men serveth few;

He serves all who dares be true.
