Analysis. — This melod}'^ is particularly graceful and pleasing. 

 The tempo is not rigidly maintained. The metronome mark indi- 

 cates the general tempo and the song is divided into measures by 

 means of the accents. The words are not sufficiently distinct for 

 transcription.

Umbe' Come 



Minikwe'da Let us drink 



This is the song of a lovelorn j^outh who meets another and asks 

 if he ''has a bottle to cheer him up." 



Analysis. — This melody is not unlike the preceding, except that 

 it is set to a slower beat. The words can be recognized, but are 

 too indistinct to transcribe.
