I Will Not Resign
I will not acquire from you more than I can give
I will not desire from you
more than you can live
I will not entreat from you more than I can plead
I will not delete from you
more than you can need
I will not collect from you more than I can show
I will not expect from you
more than you can know
I will not demit from you more than I can take
I will not remit from you
more than you can make
I will not exact from you more than I can crave
I will not extract from you
more than you can save
I will not decline from you more than I can leave
I will not resign from you
more than you can grieve
