A possible interpretation:
* Additionally; the physical descriptiion given by FF of the prisoner IMO, doesn't quite fit..... somehow.

Ahh, I mentioned this once before but not related to your link.
I think you are onto the same idea, but I could be wrong.
What was wrong with the description of the prisoner is the "shoes." Those aren't shoes, they are what we'd call sandals.
(Like in "sandalwood", as another reference.)
They wrap around the foot, leaving it open.
As to your title, "I've done it tired and now I'm weak", we have to look at the definition of "tire."
From Merriam-Webster, and I'm sticking to the verb form (you'll see why next):
tire verb (2)
tired; tiring
Definition of tire (Entry 4 of 4)
transitive verb
1 obsolete : attire
2 archaic : to adorn (the hair) with an ornament
This is most commonly known to us as the laurel wreaths ancients used to wear as rulers and Olympic champions.
Now we'll check Merriam-Webster for the word "weak."
And again, I'm going to the verb form:
7a : of, relating to, or constituting a verb or verb conjugation that in English forms the past tense and past participle by adding the suffix -ed or -d or -t
So you see...
"I", whoever or whatever that is, did it attired with the champion's laurels, and being so attired in the weak form of the verb (past tense).
Past tense! "I" is no longer "tired". or attired, in the laurels.
Those laurels await the hunter.

No- I donāt feel ātiredā is a verb.
And I think all the words (nouns, verbs, etc) are all important.

At any rate, I'm going to seek a quiet place and "sort it out", so to speak. Or do the best I can, anyways. Keep up the good work, Heidini, and I hope to be back some day. |

The theme of "pirates" seems to be a good fit with much of the information contained in the poem and contents of the chest.
How though does the theme of "pirates", mesh with the idea of the treasure being hidden in the Rockies?
Perhaps the answer might have something to do with Hugh Glass, one time pirate and mountain man whose life story was inspiration for the movie "The Revenant"

W.Kidd was pirate. Hugh Glass was a pirate. So "I meet W.Kidd" could mean "I meet Hugh Glass".

I HavE DonE iT tireD anD noW I aM weaK I E E T D D W I M K I MEET W.KIDD If you leave off the first I because I've (contraction) in the poem, MEET W KIDD. Just a thought along your line. And maybe a double reference to Billy The Kid(d). Another thought - the tires went flat on the long ride home. No air, no elevation, flat. Topo maps are flat, though they label elevation. |

I briefly considered the Billy The Kid idea. The lack of "the" caused me to reject that line of inquiry.
"I meet W.Kidd/Meet W.Kidd", also brings to mind ff's statement about a child.
