And a bald, scatterbrained fool
The foolish one whose head rattles
Struts with the affliction lodged within him.
Wanders lost in his compound malady

He was lent the worst habit of the crows,
He borrowed from the crows the worst habit
So he spent the night concealing his brother’s nakedness.
And now conceals his brother's disgrace
