Their tracks were dark,
their trail very black,

The bird that floats in the air,
swoops less swiftly than their leader,

Drudgery was it for the fellow,
who taught all four of them their ways,

On their ceaseless visits,
to the vessel of gold.

Is that the same story that has the fourth magus finally reaching Jerusalem 30+ years later when Jesus was being crucified and he's the one who carries the cross for him?
