28. “Now then, thou wert the principal of this confederacy, 
De-ka-na-wi-dah, with the joint principal, his son, O-dah-tshe-deh; 
and then again his uncle, Tha-do-dah-ho; and also again his son- 
Ha-ka-hen-yonh, and again his uncle, Ska-nya-da-ri-yoh; and then 
again his cousin, Sha-de-ka-ron-yes; and then in later times addi- 
tions were made to the great edifice” (or long House). 
29. Now listen, ye who established the Great League or 
Peace, Now it has become old, Now there is nothing but wilderness. 
Ye are in your graves who established it. Ye have taken it with 
you and have placed it under you, and there is nothing left but a 
desert. There ye have taken your intellects with you. What ye 
established ye have taken with you. Ye have placed under your 
heads what ye established—the Great League. 
30. Now, then, hearken, ye who were rulers and founders: 
T-eh-ka-rih-ho-ken ! 
Continue to listen! 
Thou who wert ruler, 
Ha-yen-wa-tha! 
Continue to listen! 
Thou who wert ruler, 
Sha-de-ka-rih-wa-de! 
That was the roll of you 
You who were joined in the work, 
You who completed the work, 
The Great League (or Peace). 
31. Continue to listen! 
Thou who wert ruler, 
Sha-renh-ho-wa-neh! 
Continue to listen! 
Thou who wert ruler, 
Teh-yonh, heh-kon! 
Continue to listen! 
Thou who wert ruler, 
Oh-ren-reh-ka-wa! 
That was the roll of you, 
You who were joined in the work, 
You who completed the work, 
The Great League (or Peace).
