    It is not the weight of jewel or plate,
    Or the fondle of silk or fur;
    "Tis the spirit in which the gift is rich,
    As the gifts of the Wise Ones were,
    And we are not told whose gift was gold,
    Or whose was the gift of myrrh.

He ne'er consider'd it as loth
To look a gift-horse in the mouth,
And very wisely would read more

He ne'er consider'd it as loth
To look a gift-horse in the mouth,
And very wisely would lay forth
No more upon it than 'twas worth;
But as he got it freely, so
He spent it frank and freely too:
For saints themselves will sometimes be,
Of gifts that cost them nothing, free.
