Meseems the street looks deserted today!
Quotha! And what do I see?
A young boy? Younger than the rest?
Oh! They were just like him
Good day your holiness
Shalom my boy
How art thou?
I am fine sir
What ye seeketh?
The road to guidance
Oh! Just like the rest
Hither where I sit
I have guided the ways of many
I have shown them the path
Go thither
Follow the footpath, take the bend
The road you seeketh
The bend?
Aye, my boy
But the signpost says straight
Straight?
Yes, your holiness
I have been hither all the time
Still, I have been on this siege like a statue
The signpost doesn’t look new sir
Nay, it was mounted the days of yore
But it shows straight
Wellaway! I never read it
Let me show you the way your holiness
Mine back is bent
Soothly, I can barely stand
I’ll give you the support you require
Let’s go yonder,the road to guidance
We all seeketh
