On Being Stricken with Paralysis

Good friends,

Why waste your time in wailing

And in sympathy for me?



Surely, from time to time,

I shall be strong enough

To move about a bit.

As for travel,

On land there are carrying-chairs,

And on the water there are boats;

So, if I can but keep my courage,

What need have I of feet ?
