JELEBU CUSTOMARY SONGS AND SAYINGS. 19 



There descended in Pagar Kuyong together 



A king of white blood and Batin Mergalang; 



They journeyed and climbed the Eembau hills; 



They passed clown to Sri Menanti. 



Then men dwelt there in tribes, the twelve tribes : — 



A tribe has its old men, its elders, and its headman. 



Afterwards their homes grew close together; 



For their games men used one common; 



Used one shelter for their bathing; 



From one well drew their drinking water. 



R. A. Soc, No. 78.
