Inscription on a Placard placed near the customary seat of a Blind Beggar in the Streets of Paris.

[_]

(Translated.)

Good passers-by, for Jesus' sake,
Let this poor man your alms partake;
The blind recipient will not know
From whom such pious bounties flow;
But God, the All-seeing, will regard them,
And richly, as I pray, reward them.
