DIRECTIONS: Read the following poem carefully and choose the correct option to answer the questions that follow. POEM - 1 I lay in sorrow, deep distressed: 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, in grief and pahi: 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! How did the proud man help the poet when he was in deep distresses'?
