Charity Charity parson and priest	A
Ever in church and in chapel have taught	B
'Give ye in charity e'en to the least	A
So may the favor of Heaven be bought	C
Strive ye in Virtue for Him that we call	D
Master has named it the greatest of all	D
Strive ye in holiness	E
Owner of acres and breeder of sheep	F
Cleaning his wealth with a masterful hand	G
Scheming for profit with schemes that are deep	F
Yet is the squatter a generous soul	H
A generous donor and this be more	I
He never begrudges nor misses the dole	H
Of gratuitous guineas he flings from his store	I
	-
Charity Charity purchase your fame	J
All the world honours a giver of alms	K
Noble philanthropist Publish his name	J
Scatter his gift to the suppliant palms	L
Nay Would you ask how his guineas are won	M
Mark his beneficence See what he's done	M
Thank him ye lowly ones	N
Bless him you holy ones	N
Charity Charity worthily done	M
	-
	-
Humble BILL HODMAN is ag d and poor	O
Owning no riches and owning no lands	P
Living the life of a labouring boor	Q
Earning his bread by the toil of his hands	P
Yet is the toiler an obstinate soul	H
An obstinate pauper and this be more	I
He'd answer with curses if offered a dole	H
In charity out of a rich man's store	I
	-
	-
Charity Charity ignorant clowns	R
What should ye know of personal pride	S
Shame on your surliness Shame on your frowns	R
Spurring the gifts that the wealthy provide	S
Are they not generous Are they not kind	T
Pride is their privilege why should ye mind	T
Study servility	T
Practise humility	T
Charity Charity fools ye are blind	T

	-
Proud Squatter REX has a charming wife	U
Queen of society lady of birth	V
Nurtured in luxury smiling thro' life	U
Ever enjoying the sweets of the earth	V
Ah but she pities the poor o' the land	T
Sweet benefactress as kind as her lord	T
Patroness she of a slum working band	T
President too of a hospital board	T
	-
	-
Charity Charity down in the slums	W
Misery stalks 'mid the lean o' the land	T
Angel beneficent See where she comes	W
Scattering gifts with a generous hand	T
Sweet Lady Bountiful draw in your skirt	T
Shrink from the misery squalor and dirt	T
Pity is lured to it	T
Nay they're inured to it	T
Charity Charity is their desert	T
	-
	-
Labourer BILL has a toil worn wife	U
Drudge of the lower class cradled in care	X
Nurtured in poverty struggling through life	U
Knowing too well all the bitterness there	X
Ah but she nurses a foolish old pride	T
Wife of a labourer barren of lands	P
Knowing the 'comforts' they humbly divide	T
Are earned doubly earned by the toil of their hands	P
	-
	-
Charity Charity nay foolish drudge	Y
Why should you slave till the end of your day	T
Think of the wealthy who never begrudge	Y
Gifts to the 'Home' where the indignent stay	T
Why should mendicity shame such as you	Z
Indigence beggary these are not new	Z
Where is the blame for it	T
What's in the name of it	T
Charity Charity it is your due	Z
	-
Proud Squatter REX does your lordly soul	H
Shrink from the thought of a mendicant whine	A2
Are you too proud to solicit a dole	H
Won by the sweat of a fellow of thine	A2
What of the subsidy sued for and paid	T
Paid at a word from a tool of the 'class'	P
Earned hardly earned at a labourer's trade	T
Charity wrung from the toil of the mass	P
	-
	-
Charity Charity what's in a name	J
Whine for a subsidy lo and it comes	P
Still it is charity ever the same	J
Begged from a palace or cadged from the slums	P
Call it a clever political game	J
Yours is the sordidness yours is the shame	J
Moneyed mendacity	T
Skilled in duplicity	T
Charity Charity this is its name	J
	-
	-
Sweet lady Bountiful queen of your set	T
Selfish for pleasure and greedy for show	B2
When come the toys and the treasures you get	T
Have you considered or wanted to know	B2
Nay would you stoop to take pence from the poor	O
Soiled with the sweat of an overworked wife	U
Loaf on the toil of a labouring boor	Q
Squander his pittance to lighten your life	U
Charity Charity cover your face	P
This is your charity this is your pride	T
To laugh and to live and to know the disgrace	P
Of squandering pence that the needy provide	T
Some toiling sister some work weary soul	H
Is slaving the harder to eke out your dole	H
Blush for the shame of it	T
Shrink form the name of it	T
Blush for your name upon Charity's roll	H
