In posture of a student, in his hands

Some sky-blue wool. "It is," he says, "to make

Some socks for little children, for I have

But little wool."

When I had finished quite

This dittyramb, and El-Hadj-ben-er-Rebha

Became acquainted with it, he began

To laugh, telling his beads the while, and then

His decoration from his wallet took,

Which had been there enclosed.
