Such old men, as are too poor to allow themselves provisions of this kind, may do very well with bread, panado, and eggs; things, which no poor man can want, unless it be common beggars, and, as we call them, vagabonds, about whom we are not bound to make ourselves uneasy, since they have brought themselves to that pass by their indolence; and had better be dead than alive; for they are a disgrace to human nature. keywords: age; constitution; death; food; good; health; life; man; men; nature; order; reason; things; time; years cache: 30660.txt plain text: 30660.txt item: #2 of 5 id: 31236 author: Nourse, Alan Edward title: Martyr date: None words: 20210 flesch: 94 summary: Senator Dan Fowler took the black cigar from his mouth, stared at the chewed-up end for a moment, and put it back in again.
