And one said, 'He is sickOf poison'; and another, 'He will die. 'But I, who could not lose my precious boy, Prayed of them physic, which might bring the lightBack to his eyes; it was so very smallThat kiss-mark of the serpent, and I thinkIt could not hate him, gracious as he was, Nor hurt him in his sport. And some one said, 'There is a holy man upon the hillLo! now he passeth in the yellow robeAsk of the Rishi if there be a cureFor that which ails thy son. ' Whereon I cameTrembling to thee, wh...ose brow is like a god's, And wept and drew the face cloth from my babe, Praying thee tell what simples might be good. And thou, great sir, did'st spurn me not, but gazeWith gentle eyes and touch with patient hand;Then draw the face cloth back, saying to me, 'Yea, little sister, there is that might healThee first, and him, if thou couldst fetch the thing;For they who seek physicians bring to themWhat is ordained. Therefore, I pray thee, findBlack mustard-seed, a tola; only markThou take it not from any hand or houseWhere father, mother, child, or slave hath died;It shall be well if thou canst find such seed.
