[ETH. ANN. 47 



165 That yonder to where the life-giv- 

 ing road of your sun father 

 comes out 

 Your roads may reach; 

 That you may finish your roads; 

 For this I add to your breath. 

 170 To this end, my fathers, 

 My children. 

 May all of you be blessed with light.

11 Plural verb with singular subject, due possibly to rhythmic requirements. The correct form would 

 be telia'u. Byron does this, too, and Blake.
