A man was preaching in a busy street:
-- Thrice I have seen the light
So powerful it was I've lost my sight!
The man had a ribbon wrapped around his eyes. He continued his preaching:
-- Worry not, thou, my eyes aren't needed anymore!
For I see now more than I ever saw before!
Pointing an elegant man passing by:
-- You! I see you're troubled in your sleep
By the ghosts of the ones you've made weep!
Flee from me if I lie
Flee from me and I can die
The elegantly dressed man stopped and began watching the crazed preacher, who was now pointing at a beautiful woman, and saying:
-- You! You're chained by your looks!
Unable to eat except in carats
Distasteful life thou lead
Join me for I am mead
The woman stopped her petulant walk and began listening to the preacher. To an old man he said:
-- Evident in thee is the weight of years
Thou feel pierced by a thousand spears
Allow me to soothe thy pain
Bliss upon thee falling like rain
