GRATITUDE.
The still small voice of gratitude.
For Music. T. GRAY.
A grateful mind
By owing owes not, but still pays, at once
Indebted and discharged.
Paradise Lost, Bk. IV. MILTON.
I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds
With coldness still returning;
Alas! the gratitude of men
Hath oftener left me mourning.
Simon Lee. W. WORDSWORTH.
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks.
Hamlet, Act ii. Sc. 2. SHAKESPEARE.
