| In the heat of the midday the houses stood with shut doors | D |
| I wandered along the crooked lane | E |
| An old man came out with his bag of gold | F |
| He pondered and said I will hire you with my money | G |
| He weighed his coins one by one but I turned away | H |

| The sun glistened on the sand and the sea waves broke waywardly | I |
| A child sat playing with shells | K |
| He raised his head and seemed to know me and said I hire you with nothing | L |
| From thenceforward that bargain struck in child's play made me a free man | M |
