            THE HERMIT
            
            I seem to see a hermit good:
            
            He has no pride, he begs his food;
            
            From man-made laws his acts are free;
            
            He seeks no man's society;
            
            He has no care for common ways
            
            Of giving, getting all his days;
            
            He stitches up his garment ragged
            
            With wayside tatters, torn and jagged;
            
            No false conceit his fancy haunts—
            
            Eternal peace is all he wants.

Tawney

            
            Lonely among his kind,
            
            Breaking on alms his fast,
            
            Free as th' unfettered wind,
            
            The hermit wanders past,
            
            Of tattered rags his dress,
            
            He knows no care nor pride,
            
            He longs for quietness,
            
            And has no want beside.

            95. There lives the real ascetic who feeds himself on alms, unattached to the society of men, always free in his efforts (i.e., without obligation or restraint from outside) and pursuing a path of indifference as regards what to give up or what to take; his worn out garment is made up of rags cast away in streets, and his seat is a blanket received by chance; he is devoid of pride and egoism and he is concerned only in enjoying the happiness arising from the control of mind.
