Poor


Poor and content, is rich, and rich enough; But riches, fineless, is as poor as winter, To him that ever fears he shall be poor. Shakespeare.—Othello, Act III. Scene 3. (Iago to Othello, hinting at jealousy.)	1
They thank’t their Maker for a pittance sent, Supped on a turnip, slept upon content. Dr. Walter Harte.—Eulogius.	2
To be poor, and to seem poor, is a certain method never to rise. Goldsmith.—On Concealing our Wants.	3
Poor naked wretches, wheresoe’er you are, That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm! Shakespeare.—King Lear, Act III. Scene 4. (His exclamation in the Tempest.)	4
Poor in abundance, furnish’d at a feast. Dr. Young.—Night VII. Part II. Line 44.	5
