Finally, being able to no longer exert and pain, He's putting down his fagot, he's thinking of his misfortune. What fun has he had since he was in the world? Is there a poorer one in the round machine? No bread sometimes, and never rest. His wife, his children, the soldiers, the taxes, The creditor, and the chore Make him unfortunate the finished painting. He calls death, she comes without delay, Ask him what to do It is, he said, in order to help me To recharge that wood; you shall not delay.
