And the good of all things that thou givest to me, I shall offer to thee the tithes and tenth part.

how ill dost thou requite! And givest in exchange for it but coldness and despite; Thy promises, thy pledge of love, thou to the gale wouldst fling; Enough that they were thine, false girl, that they should all take wing. Remember how upon that day thou gavest many a sign Of love and lavished'st the kiss which told me thou wert mine.

Thy best possession is what thou givest in the name of God; thy best traffic is selling this world for the next.

The disturbers of the kingdom have entered into it again; and thou, who shouldst defend it, remainest in exile as if thou wert a prisoner; thou givest over the lamb to the wolf, thy dominions to the ravishers.

O God, who givest unto all their food, make us thankful and provide for all the needy, now and evermore.
