Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you; and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.
A table-full of welcome!
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks
Evermore thanks, the exchequer of the poor
The poorest service is repaid with thanks.
We came into the world like brother and brother, And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
For this relief, much thanks
You, and your lady, Take from my heart all thankfulness!
You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves praised:
I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched in so many giddy offences as He hath generally taxed their whole their whole sex withal.
Thanks to men Of noble minds, is honorable meed.
I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I.
Welcome ever smiles, and farewell goes out sighing.
O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!
