PRAYEKS OF THE MEDICINE CULT 



833 



85 Perhaps, if we are fortunate, 

 Because of our thoughts 

 Our spring children may multiply."" 



Among all the little boys 



And all the little girls, 

 90 And those whose roads go ahead. 



Our spring children have multi- 

 plied. 



In order that this toward which our 

 thoughts bend may be accom- 

 plished, 



Desiring our fathers' medicine, 

 95 We have made our roads come 

 hither. 



My father. 



For you I have finished aU these 

 words. 



Even whOe I call myself poor, 



Yonder on aU sides 



From those whom my thoiiglits 

 embrace, 

 100 I shall ask for light; 



1 shall add to your breath. 



Asking for the breath of the priest 

 of the north, 



The priest of the west, 



The priest of the south, 

 105 The priest of the east, 



The priest of above. 



The priest of below. 



Asking for their life-giving breath, 



Tlieir breath of old age, 

 110 Tlicir Ijreath of waters, 



Their breath of seeds. 



Their breath of fecundity, 



Their breath of riches, 



Their breath of strong spirit, 



115 Tlieir breath of power. 



Their breath of aU good fortune 



whereof they are possessed — 

 Asking for this, 

 Into my warm body 

 I shall draw their breath. 

 120 In order that our roads may reach 

 To where the road of our sun father 



comes out, 

 In order that we may finish our 



roads, 

 For this I add to your breath. 

 To this end, my father.
