The declamation piece, or soliloquy, beginning with "Alms, Alms, Alms. Spare me a piece of bread" is a popular choice for speech students or competitors. It is called "Vengeance is Not Ours, It's God's," and the text begins like this:Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy.I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged.Why are you staring at me?With my eyes I cannot see but I know that you are all staring at me. Why are you whispering to one another?
