Bounty

From bounty issues power.

Akenside.

Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus’d too widely.

Goldsmith.

The superfluous blossoms on a fruit tree are meant to symbolize the large way God loves to do pleasant things.

Beecher.

O blessed bounty, giving all content!
The only fautress of all noble arts
That lend’st success to every good intent.
A grace that rests in the most godlike hearts,
By heav’n to none but happy souls infus’d
Pity it is, that e’er thou wast abus’d.

Drayton.
