Gift

A gift given, is often ill received
By those who are pugnacious and rude;
Only if the gift were exchanged for another gift.
If a gift were given with no thing in return
Suspect the gift, for men are generous
But do not often give a gift without expectation.
Yet, if you give gifts without expectation,
Do not hesitate to receive a gift on return.
It is more rude to refuse the gift 
Than to give one without expectation.
