Three Gifts

*
"The Book of Odes", by L. Cranmer-Byng, [1908],

p. 43

"Three Gifts\"

A royal gourd was given me,

And in exchange an emerald I gave,

No mere return for courtesy,

But that our friendship might outlast the grave.

A princely peach was given me,

And in exchange a ruby gem I gave,

No mere exchange for courtesy,

But that our friendship might outlast the grave.

A yellow plum was given me,

And in exchange a sardonyx I gave,

No mere return for courtesy,

But that our friendship might outlast the grave.
