Love didst thou bestow; an attentive mind didst thou require; an exchange took place between us. Why should we call Thee generous? With trusting faith, Thou takest one thing and givest another. Thou Givest little and takest much; Thou forbiddest all men to judge Thee. Tuka says, Thou didst allot to us an attentive mind as our capital, and now Thou hast cast us into an indifferent mood.
