He was hearty, generous, and keen on drinking, composing poems and making friends.
Washing your hair, dust not your hat;Taking your bath, don’t your clothes pat.In life, one should not be so clean;The noblest man will hide his sheen.O fisherman, how waves you ply!Now let’s go back there, you and I.
