Security, thieves and robbers

Meaning

The poem says that a quiet possessor of the gift can dwell securely, unassailed by misfortune and unafraid of thieves or robbers. Security is presented within an ideal of divine bestowal, piety, and concealed enjoyment. These are praise-statements in verse, not evidence that possession of a material object removes ordinary risks. The link with quietness also distinguishes the claimed benefit from public display of wealth. The entry preserves the poem's strong promise while attributing it to its rhetorical setting.
