How this one am I to strike it? 



The black musk-ox let me strike it. 



With a winged arrow since I cannot do it, 



With the horn of my bow let me push it away. 



How this one am I to strike it? 



The hare here let me strike it. 



With a winged arrow since I cannot do it, 



With a snare let me attack it.

Translation 



My familiar spirit, it, around the caribou when it travelled 

 Towards me it began at last to gallop. 



Eastward I was idle, 



On my journey north I was idle. 



Bull caribou, cow caribou, 



Because I could secure none of them I was idle.
