OUR wisdom is most liberal, and knows 
How fond a thing it is for discreet men 
To purchase with the loss of their estate 
The name of one poor virtue, liberality, 
And that, too, only from the mouth of beggars! 
One of your judgment would not, I am sure, 
Buy all the virtues at so dear a rate. —Randolph. 
UT th’ earth herself, of her owne motion, HAVE spent all the wealth 
Out of her fruztfull bosome made to growe My ancestors did purchase; made others brave * 
Most daintie trees, that, shooting up anon, In shape and riches, and myself a knave: 
Did seeme to bow their blooming heads full lowe For tho’ my wealth rais’d some to paint their door, 
For homage unto her, and like a throne did show. ’Tis shut against me, saying I am poor. 
— Spenser, 
HE feast is such as earth, the general mother, 
Pours from her fairest bosom, when she smiles 
\ In the embrace of antumn. —Shelly.
