John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

Owen Seaman. (1861– ?)

    Whene’er I walk the public ways,
  How many poor that lack ablution
Do probe my heart with pensive gaze,
  And beg a trivial contribution! 1

The bitter Cry of the great Unpaid.

Note 1.
See the anonymous travesty.
Whene’er I walk this beauteous earth,
How many poor I see,
But as I never speaks to them,
They never speaks to me. [back]
