Yea, let the cause appear sufficient, and the motive clear and unsuspicious,
As given to one who cannot help, or proving honest thanks,
There liveth not one among a million, who is proof against the charm of liberality,
And flattery, that boon of praise, hath power with the wisest.
Man is of three natures, craving all for charity;
It is not enough to give him meats, withholding other comfort:
For the mind starveth, and the soul is scorned, and so the human animal
Eateth his unsatisfying pittance, a thankless heartless pauper:
Yet would he bless thee and be grateful, didst thou feed his spirit,
And teach him that thine alms-givings are charities, are loves:
