182 RAJA HAJI. 
Handak menangkap ikan sembilang 
Sudah ber-galah lagi ber-tali 
Ka-asa dapat ka-dua hilang 
Ayoh Allah apa-kan jadi. 
Sudah ber-galah lagi ber-tali 
Ular naga panjang chula-nya 
Ayoh Allah apa-kan jadi 
Malam ber-jaga siyang ber-kubu. * 
Ular naga panjang chula-nya 
Terendak ber-jari-jari 
Malam ber-jaga siyang ber-kubu 
Ini-lah kahandak si Raja Haji. 
Terendak ber-jari-jari 
Sikejang bunga sa-pagi 
Tni-lah per-buat-an si Raja Haji 
Seperti anjing dengan babi. ¢ 
Sikejang bunga sa-pagi 
Tetak batang di-dalam padi 
Fa‘il bagei anjing dan babi 
Tiada berani masok neegri. 
Tetak batang di-dalam padi 
Priuk ber-isi arang 
Tiada berani masok neegri 
Raja Bru { Raja Siamang. 
Priuk ber-isi arang 
Si Kilang deri Rumbia 
Raja Bru Raja Siamang 
Hilang asal dengan mulia. 
Si Kilang deri Rumbia 
Mengeulei kapala todak 
Hilang asal dengan mulia 
Antah-kan dapat antah tidak.

+ The Dutch sympathies of the author are here evinced, Raja Haji (who 
is still looked on as ahero and martyr in Riouw and Selangor) being described 
as behaving like a dog or a pig, words abhorrent to Muhammadan ears. 
{ There is a pun here on the name of the Dutch Governor, de Bruijn. 
Raja Haji is described as hesitating to attack the fort from fear of the big 
monkey (bruk) there.
