night and day i have been awake
always looking for a way out of misery
keeping a close account of the cost
eliminating errors in my estimate
determined to find cure for life’s ills
dancing to the tunes of band masters
avoiding only the loss of modesty
not dodging sacrifices that are basics
conniving not with crooks and crooked
i am now tired with end not yet visible
naked i have become with all wasted
garments, but searching i stop not
