1. One day I am with the sailor, the two of us riding

    the nail-fastened vessel upon a surging ocean.

  2. At another time, in a vast wilderness, no one accompanies me

    except the jackal and the fierce, ravening lion.

  3. At times I am among a rabble wholly devoid of virtue,

    my mount between a farrier and a perfumer.

  4. At another time, I sit among luminaries and confer with them

    about what may draw me nearer to the Creator’s mercy.

Sol 5.6
