Though two, I'm one; two stones together lie. And one's as lazy as the other’s spry; one moveth not, the other up and down doth ply.

A mighty tooth am I, 'neath the Eastern skies. Through other lands, in many shapes I rise. No strength remains, but still my charms they prize.

I have endured more than one body should. I carried three souls, all nurtured within me. Two are gone, but the last one barely survived.

Long and thin am I, of metal slight; my yielding chain I draw by iron light. I shape the torn and bind the loosened tight.

Hung from my foot upon my head I go, and on the ground I leave my head-prints so; but my misfortunes many comrades know.

I was once a green herb in a grassy glade; when soft, laid low beneath an iron blade, and then aloft with many kindred laid.
