    The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride;
    The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside;
    The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend;
    This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend.

He kept no Christmas-house for once a yeere,
Each day his boards were fild with Lordly fare;
He fed a rout of yeoman with his cheer,
Nor was his bread and beefe kept in with care;
His wine and beere to strangers were not spare,
And yet beside to all that hunger greved,
His gates were open, and they were there relived.
