 1. 



Side by side come ye, come ye, come ye. 

 Come ye, come ye, come ye hither. 



In scattered groups come ye, come ye, come ye. 

 Come ye, come ye, come ye hittier. 



. The words of Song 2 are not clear, therefore they can not be trans- 

 lated. Sho'''-ge-mo''-i° himself could not tell what the words signify.
