Thieves may break in and bear away your gold
The cruel flame may lay your hearthstone low,
Your dues the faithless debtor may withhold,
Your fields may not return the grain you SOW,
A spendthrift steward at your cost may live
Your ships may founder with their precious store
But wealth bestowed is safe, for what you give,
Aud that alone is yours foreyermore.
