If you meet a man of means, by all means beg his help. If he refuses, the fault is his, not yours.§
Even begging can prove pleasurable when what is begged for comes with no sense of burden.§

The miseries of begging will flee at the mere sight of those who are free from refusal’s miserable manners. §
A jubilant heart rejoices upon seeing those who give without scoffing or scorning.§

What glory would generous men enjoy if there were none to beg for and receive their gifts? §
One who begs and is refused should not be angry, for his own poverty is sufficient proof of giving’s limits.§
