“Nil habet infelix paupertas durius in se
Quam quod ridiculos homines facit .”
Juv. iii. 152

Juv. iii. 152
The bitterest cup in all life's ills
Is poverty and want;—
The bitterest drop that cup that fills
Is the world's jeer and taunt.
Is poverty and want;—
The bitterest drop that cup that fills
Is the world's jeer and taunt.
The barb most wrankling in the breast
Is scorn and ridicule,
Although to be of one the jest,
Whom God hath deem'd a fool .

“The Pharisees, who were covetous, heard these things, and
they derided Him.”
S. Luke xvi. 14.
Such ills on earth the Son of God
Did round Him closely bind;
And they by whom His way is trod
Therein no sting shall find.
Did round Him closely bind;
And they by whom His way is trod
Therein no sting shall find.
On such from Heaven He looketh down;
Such near His Throne shall be;
Lord, of beatitudes the crown
Is to be like to Thee.
Such near His Throne shall be;
Lord, of beatitudes the crown
Is to be like to Thee.
