Great Regulars: He then attributes the humbleness

of his birth circumstances to the fact that he was born on Saturday, for as Mother Goose asserts, "Saturday's child works hard for a living."

And instead of joining proud, happy parents, the speaker was welcomed by a father who said, "Bad time for planting a seed" and "One mouth more to feed."

The devotee thought again that he had exhausted the bliss of delights from the earth, water, and fire chakras, so he "idly looked for more," continuing to dig "deep,/Deep, below." And to his pleasant surprise he finds "undrunk, untouched/There the fountain lay."
