THE VIZIER AND THE WOODMAN. 31 *- A day or so after the Serpent he met, Who did in his mouth to him bring A stone of three colours, as brilliant as yet Was e'er by the art of a jeweller set In the glittering crown of a king, Which he at the feet of the Woodman let drop, Then gracefully glided away. To his hewing down wood this soon put a stop, For picking it up, to a jeweller's shop, He ran without further delay, 32 THE VIZIER AND THE WOODMAN. And begg*d that the man would oblige him, and tell ...What virtues by it were possess'd. The man took the stone and examined it well, Then answer'd, " Three virtues within the stone dwell, " As are by the colours express'd. " Thejirst is, that joy without grief is the lot " Of him who possesseth this stone, " The second, that he shall be rich and shall not " E'er want, and the third of these virtues, I wot, " Is health, and all sickness unknown. THE VIZIER AND THE WOODMAN. 33 " Also if he sells it, and does not receive " In full a fair value and true, " To him 'twill return and the buyer deceive " Himself.
