Additional notes

All men are ingrates, sneered the cynic. "Nay," The good philanthropist replied; I did great service to a man one day Who never since has cursed me to repay, Nor vilified. Ho! cried the cynic, "lead me to him straight— With veneration I am overcome, And fain would have his blessing." "Sad your fate— He cannot bless you, for I grieve to state This man is dumb."
