The paiituns are Improvised poems, generally (though 
not necessarily) of four lines, in which the rtrst and third 
and the second and fourth rhyme. They are mostly love

to the second, or often has, beyond the rhyme, no con- 
nexion with the second at all. The Malays are fond of

that which follows, until one of the parties be silenced or 
vanquished." Kacye. Brit., XV. 320.
