Beloved brethren, Look at me trying to better my life Exposing my delicate skin as fair as the moon, While it is ready to depart the sky To the noon angry sun, making a living, Begging like a mendicant without a begging bowl That people may take a look at my unlucky wares Time used to be walking on slippery floors But now it is limping on slippery sloppy floors. Beloved brethren, Look at me now expanding my coast, With many heads at my beck and call Cain and Ahittophel like weeds had sprung up in my beautiful garden and I had separated them from the soil beneath I am making merry but Time is no longer treading on boggy ground It is now in possession of metallic wings.
