oodshed and destruction. No! let the blood of the enemy be spilt at a distance from our wives and children. Turning to the aged chief, he said: I hear you, my father; I understand you, my father; your words are true, they are good for the ear; it is good that we be instructed by the Makooas; I wish those evil who will not obey; I wish that they may be broken in pieces. Then addressing the warriors, There are many of you who do not deserve to eat out of a bowl, but only out of a broken pot; think on what has been said, and obey with-out murmuring. I command you, ye chiefs of the Batlapis, Batlares, Bainairis, Barolongs, and Bakotus, that you acquaint all your tribes of the proceedings of this day; let none be ignorant; I say again, ye warriors, prepare for the battle; let your shields be strong, your quivers full of arrows, and your battle-axes as sharp as hunger. ... Be silent, ye kidney-eaters (addressing the old men), ye are of no further use but to hang about for kidneys when an ox is slaughtered.
