He is quoting an centuries old poem...
Posted By: SquirrelOnFire <nocohen@gmail.com>Date: 4/28/07 2:12 p.m.

In Response To: For one mouse in 7 escapes by his dallying (Scythopolis Archaeologist)


He is quoting the Jubilate Agno

That should excite some of the more adventurous gamers among us, and the more curious.

from the Jubilate Agno

For is this done by wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness.
For then he leaps up to catch the musk, which is the blessing of God upon his prayer.
For he rolls upon prank to work it in.
For having done duty and received blessing he begins to consider himself.
For this he performs in ten degrees.
For first he looks upon his fore-paws to see if they are clean.
For secondly he kicks up behind to clear away there.
For thirdly he works it upon stretch with the fore paws extended.
For fourthly he sharpens his paws by wood.
For fifthly he washes himself.
For Sixthly he rolls upon wash.
For Seventhly he fleas himself, that he may not be interrupted upon the beat.
For Eighthly he rubs himself against a post.
For Ninthly he looks up for his instructions.
For Tenthly he goes in quest of food.
For having consider'd God and himself he will consider his neighbour.
For one mouse in seven escapes by his dallying.
For when his day's work is done his business more properly begins.
For he keeps the Lord's watch in the night against the adversary.
For he counteracts the powers of darkness by his electrical skin and glaring eyes.
For he counteracts the Devil, who is death, by brisking about the life

The full text is available online, just google any of these phrases and it should come up.

I doubt there is much to be found there, but this suggests a love of ancient culture, especially when coupled with the Zephyr and Argo references, not to mention the very name of the founder of our current riddle.

It seems like our Archaeologist friend here has gotten himself into some trouble with the law. Lets see if hie is the one mouse in seven who manages to escape.
