HIS ALMES, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Here, here I live
Last Line: The scrip hath some.
Subject(s): Charity; Philanthropy


Here, here I live,
And somewhat give,
Of what I have,
To those, who crave.
Little or much,
My Almnes is such:
But if my deal
Of Oyl and Meal
Shall fuller grow,
More Ile bestow:
Mean time be it
E'en but a bit,
Or else a crum,
The scrip hath some.
