Sol 6

  1. At dawn we came upon a burly fellow, chilled to the bone.

    When he set out, an inexperienced onlooker would take him for a cleaver.

  2. He circled six approaching creatures, curved like bows.

    When they turned away, he dashed the hopes of whoever had coveted them.

  3. His bony limbs drawn close together, his legs bowed,

    he shook a supple branch with trailing tassels.

  4. Our young man thrust at him with a spear.

    How far he reached with it, patching the sheep’s need!
