Public Domain Poetry And Stories - His Petition. by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
If war or want shall make me grow so poor,
As for to beg my bread from door to door;
Lord! let me never act that beggar's part,
Who hath Thee in his mouth, not in his heart:
He who asks alms in that so sacred Name,
Without due reverence, plays the cheater's game.
