Oliver Goldsmith

Careless their merits or their faults to scan,
His pity gave ere charity began.

Philanthropy

And learn the luxury of doing good.

Goodness

Learn the luxury of doing good.

Beneficence

Even children follow'd with endearing wile,
And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's smile.

Affection

Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.

Hope

And his best riches, ignorance of wealth.

Ignorance

Thus 'tis with all; their chief and constant care
Is to seem everything but what they are.

Hypocrisy

Thus idly busy rolls their world away.

Idleness

The man recovered of the bite,
The dog it was that died.

Evil speaking

By sports like these are all their cares beguil'd,
The sports of children satisfy the child.
