Line Commentary
The wanderer comes to an inn. He has his property with him. He wins the steadfastness of a young servant. This wanderer is modest and reserved. Not losing touch with their inner being, they find a resting place. In the outside world, they don't lose the liking of other people, so all further them. They can acquire property and moreover win the allegiance of a faithful servant—a thing of inestimable value to a wanderer.
