poor but never steal!

Issa Original 1811 age 49.
正夢や春早々の貧乏神
masayume ya haru haya-baya no bimbô-gami

David’s English
my dream comes true--
this spring my god
the god of the poor

The eleventh month of the last year Issa was involved in the trouble of robbery at Natume’s mansion.
Natume is his teacher of haiku as well sponsor,  helping his life.
Natume suspected Issa as a robber and kept him staying in the mansion for three days.
Lastly the money didn’t appear and Issa was released.
Issa couldn’t say nothing, but would felt being very injured.

貧乏なれど決して盗まず
being poor but never steal
