He ne'er consider'd it as loth
To look a gift-horse in the mouth,

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;

He spent it frank and freely too:
For saints themselves will sometimes be,
Of gifts that cost them nothing, free.
