For one night he took care of him,
And when about to leave
The inn, he said unto the host,
"You shall from me receive
All that is needful for your pains,
If you of him take care;
I will repay you all the cost;
Let him your kindness share."
The Saviour asked him, "Which of these
Was neighbour to the man
Who fell among the thieves?" He said
"The good Samaritan."
The Saviour said, "Go do likewise,
The suffering ones relieve,
Go show them love, and you indeed,
Eternal life shall have."

THE RICH FOOL.
There was a certain man who had
A very large, rich ground,
Which, when the harvest time came on,
With plenty did abound.
His barns were small, and they were fill'd;
He said, "What shall I do?"
He thought within himself and said,
"I know what I will do,
"I will tear down these little barns,
And build them larger still,
And with the fruit my ground doth yield,
Abundantly I'll fill.
"And I will then say to my soul,
'Thou hast much goods laid up;
Now therefore take thine ease, and fill
Thy thoughts with earthly hope.
