What hath poor yoeman for such peril past,
Wherewith you to reward? Accept therefore
My simple self, and service evermore;
And he that high does sit, and all things see
With equal eyes, their merits to restore,
Behold what ye this day have done for me,
And what I cannot quite, requite with usury.
—Edmund Spencer, The Faerie Queen, I. VIII. 27.
