Author Ebenezer Elliott Though Take's a rogue, and Give's a fool, Yet Give and Take mean Good for Good: Thus, Mine for Thine, is blessing doubled; It's pence for pins, it's cloth for wool, It's hay for steel ā it's work for food! With two enrich'd, and no one troubled. Tags Short Poems Rate this poem Select ratingGive it 1/5Give it 2/5Give it 3/5Give it 4/5Give it 5/5 No votes yet Rate Log in or register to post comments
