Caught a voice high up like an angel's scream

Or a teaspoon tapping the bowl of heaven,

And they cried: "Ajab! May we be forgiven,

"But it sounds a soul of the rarer sort

Whose wings are set for no earthly port."

And the answer came, as they cried: "Who's that?"

"One that sells short weight in mutton fat."
