Why dost Thou consider my faults or merits?
I am altogether a heap of sins. Yet am
I united to the Saviour of the sinful; we must
each of us do our duty. Though the iron and the
magic stone meet through blows of the hammer
yet the latter will not yield up its qualities. Tuka
says, Who would ask for mud which can be had
for nothing? Through touching musk it becomes
weight for weight as good as musk.
