Which Made 1t impossible for
Him Ever to Work Again.

There was a beggar who sat at the

and making piteous moan. And there
We're many of great riches who saw
him daily and merchants laden with
silks and spices and fresh eggs and
potatoes going their way to the city
markets to barter, but they gave him
little heed and few aims.
Cometh day when fat dame
paused to give him her pity, to spend
a moment and pay him her regards,
but to give him of coins and of pieces
of gold not any.
And she inquired of him, saying, 1o.
thou art in rags and the blight of sloth
is upon thee. Thou takest little pains
with thy personal appearance and thou
art lazy as no man was ever lazy be-
fore. Hast it ever been thus with
thee or how didst thou come TO such?
