IN THE IMPERATIVE MOOD by JAMES STEPHENS

First Line: LET THE MAN WHO HAS AND DOESN'T GIVE
Last Line: GATHER RUBIES FROM THE AIR!
Subject(s): GENEROSITY; GIFTS & GIVING; GREED; AVARICE; CUPIDITY;

Let the man who has and doesn't give
Break his neck, and cease to live!

Let him who gives without a care
Gather rubies from the air!
