.... and then later..

Once this disciple went about the streets

Saw a fat landlord kicking up his keep

Heart shed tears as he saw the boy weep

He intervened and stopped the heavy beats

Rage frustrated, the landlord rained his fists

On our holy boy, he fell down senseless

Brothers and teacher heard the news, and themselves

Brought him gently home laid in bed to rest

One sprinkled water and he came around

'Nother fed him milk and asked him `Do thou

Recognize him who feedest milk to thou ?'

Hear his words with halo shining round

`He, the Great God, who beat me indeed sits

Lovingly with concern with milk me feeds'
