RITE OF VIGIL FREE TRANSLATION. 



173 



A man he i<; bringing, 

 He is bringing, he is bringing, 

 One who is to speak great words. 

 He is bringing, he is bringing, 

 A man he is bringing. 



The second song of this group refers to the Wa'-(lo°-be as being a 

 gift of the No°'-ho"-zhi°-ga order to the people, as a man whose 

 valorous deeds are worthy of emulation. All of the lines excepting 

 the sixth are the same, therefore a free translation of the fifth and 

 sixth lines of the two stanzas will suffice to give the meaning of the 

 song.
