No child, then, holds me back from hastening onward,
So no child holds me back from swift travel,
nor does any creditor sue me before a judge.
And no creditor takes me before a judge.

I have nothing but a sandal I spend the night patching,
And I have nothing but a sandal I spent the night mending,
and a crook; a meager livelihood is enough for me.
And a hooked staff; a little sustenance suffices me.
