The Beggar's Quatrain.
By Victor-Marie Hugo
("Aveugle comme Homère.")
[Improvised at the Café de Paris.]
Blind, as was Homer; as Belisarius, blind,
But one weak child to guide his vision dim.
The hand which dealt him bread, in pity kind -
He'll never see; God sees it, though, for him.
H.L.C., "London Society."
