1. Once I stopped at a vendor,

    who meant to cheat me and take illicit gain.

  2. So I said, when his conduct made me suspicious—

    and he wanted my fists kept at bay—

  3. “Would you rob me unjustly?” At once he set about

    showing me his friendly face and offering peace.

  4. Then, fearing I might lay hands on him, he said:

    “You ugly fellow—vicious in a quarrel!”
