PRAYERS OF THE WAR CULT 



673 



60 The god: Well, the one who is my 



elder brother, 

 The one who stays at Long House 



Top, 

 Does he know? 

 The man: Yes, at a time when he 



knows it I pass you on your 



road. 

 The god: The one at Echo's abid- 

 ing place, does he know? 

 The man : Yes, even when he knows, 



I have passed you on your road. 

 65 The god: The one who stays Where 



the rainbow bends over, 

 Does he know? 



The man: At a time when he knows, 

 I have passed you on your road. 

 The god: Those yonder, where all 



talk together. 

 Do they know? 

 The man: Yes, when they already 



know, 

 70 I have passed you on your road. 

 The god: Very well. Now, per- 

 haps, you have taken thought for 



your good weapons? 

 The man: Yes, I have taken 



thought. 

 The god: Very well, 

 75 Our father, our child, 



You shall set your mind to be a 



man. 

 Truly you shall not be alone. 

 Perhaps aU your fathers, 

 80 In all their different abiding places, 

 Are in agreement. 

 The man: Now this night. 

 My prayer meal, 

 My shell, 

 85 My corn pollen, 

 My sparkling paint, 

 My red paint. 

 My water roll,' 

 You have taken. 

 90 If you let me know how the world 



will he 

 How the days will be 

 That I shall alwavs remember.
