    He kept no Christmas-house for once a yeere,
    Each day his boards were fild with Lordly fare;
    He fed a rout of yeoman with his cheer,
    Nor was his bread and beefe kept in with care;
    His wine and beere to strangers were not spare,
    And yet beside to all that hunger greved,
    His gates were open, and they were there relived.

Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by;
They are good, they are bad; they are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish,--so am I;
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
And be a friend to man.
