1. You gave too little, you are not my friend
You went beyond bounds, exceeding all limits

2. You sent it full of generosity
I returned it full of praise

3. It came to you overflowing yet empty
Doubled in return, though you thought it single

4. Your noble nature, which was exalted
Refuses to bend and recall the covenant

5. If you were a time that grew flowers
You would be the spring, and it the roses
