A bald-headed man, his pate br br Pained by the rays of the sun, br br Desiring a shady spot, br br Went by fate to the foot br br Of a wood-apple tree. br br Alas, there his head br br Was smashed by a large br br Falling fruit. br br Verily, br br Where goes a man deserted by fortune, br br There do adversities follow him.
