What was it he did not give the poet?
5Read the following poem carefully, answer the following questions by choosing the most appropriate options:
I lay in sorrow, in deep distress;
My grief a proud man heard;
His looks were cold, he gave me gold,
But not a kindly word
My sorrow passed – I paid him back
The gold he gave to me;
Then stood erect and spoke my thanks
And blessed his charity.
I lay in want, and grief and pain;
A poor man passed my way,
He bound my head, he gave me bread,
He watched me night and day.
How shall I pay him back again?
For all, he did to me?
Oh, gold is great but greater far
Is heavenly sympathy.
