Poverty does not look upon him, misfortune does not visit or take hold of him, / infamy does not cling to him, defeat does not seek him out, and illness does not attack him. / Wretchedness pays him no regard, fear does not torment him, and calamities do not afflict him at all— / the man who bestows charity on a worthy recipient, destroying adversity and serving as the foundation of prosperity. .. 78 ..
