The richman brought the poorman to his East room And showed him the sun And the whole garden And said it is yours Put your head on my bed and sleep forever And then further said as he threw him the household keys and left "may the dragon of boredom swallow you up" The poorman thought the richman a rich fool.

Two Fools
The richman brought the poorman to his East room
And showed him the sun
And the whole garden
And said it is yours
Put your head on my bed and sleep forever
And then further said as he threw him the household keys and left
"may the dragon of boredom swallow you up"
The poorman thought the richman a rich fool.
