This poem was found in the hands of Ailin, the wife of the famous poet Rimo of Parda, who had lived as slave in Shan‘tai for twenty years. Born as the son of the local merchant, it was soon obvious that he had special gifts and was educated later in Santhala. He soon received the plaudits of the critics as the creator of many excellent poems. On a voyage from Parda to Varcopas his ship was lost and his Sarvonian admirer thought he had drowned. Several years later poems so sad and moving arrived on strange ways in Strata, but no author was known. Now light came into the story by a slave who managed to escape his masters in Shan‘tai. He brought Rimos last poem to the world of Sarvonia. It is now known that he had lived so long as slave in Shan‘tai, obviously in agreable conditions, but nevertheless unfree. Rimo and Ailin have decided to leave this world voluntarely by drinking a cup tea of the poisonous Co‘Ni plant.
