This humorous verse is from an anthology of
mediaeval lyrics found in Munich in the early
19th century. It had come there with other
flotsam after the dissolution of the monastery
of Bendictbeuern in upper Bavaria and is now
part of the better known collection, Carmina Burana.The handwriting of this verse is 13th century. Most of the
verses were more serious based on complaints on fortune,
and attacks on simony. But there are also love songs,
drinking songs, songs in praise of the vagabond order,
a profane gamblers' Mass and a few beggings songs.Most verses were anonymous as is this one, written
by one of the many wandering latin scholars of the
time, who like the Latin tongue knew no frontiers:
“Swift and unstable as the swallows .. hither, thither,
like a leaf caught up by the wind or a spark in the
brushwood, we wander, unweariedly weary.”The Grace of Giving
(Vagans loquitur)Right and wrong they go about,
Cheek by jowl together.
Lavishness can't keep in step
Avarice his brother.
Virtue, even in the most
Unusual moderation,
Seeking for the middle course,
Vice on either side it, must
Look about her with the most
Cautious contemplation.You'll remember to have read
In the works of Cato,
Where it is plainly set forth
“Walk but with the worthy”.
If then you have set your mind
On the grace of giving,
This of first importance is,
He who now your debtor is,
Can he be regarded as
Worthily receiving ?Giving otherwise is but
Virtue by repute,
Naught but relatively good,
Not the absolute.
But would you be generous
With security,
Have your glory on account,
Value full with each amount,
Hesitate no more, but give
What you have to me.

Two short untitled poems
by Emily DickinsonA charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld, –
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes, and denies, –
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.
Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.[img]https://i.imgur.com/GvHZFDu.jpg?1[/img]
