forbearance.

    • Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
    • Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk?
    • At rich men's tables eaten bread and pulse?
    • Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust?
    • And loved so well a high behavior,
    • In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained,
    • Nobility more nobly to repay?
    • O, be my friend, and teach me to be thine!
